Tell us about yourself!

Hello, West Liberty! My name is Carrigan O’Connor, and I am honored to serve as your new City Clerk. Having lived in West Liberty for the past three years, I have developed a deep appreciation for this community and its people. My boyfriend and I just recently bought our first home this September with the help of our 3-year-old Labrador named Cody Samson! Since graduating from the University of Iowa in 2023, I have gained valuable professional experience that has strengthened my administrative, organizational, and communication skills, providing a strong foundation for success as City Clerk.

What’s your favorite part of West Liberty?
Since moving to West Liberty, I have come to appreciate its historical significance, small-town charm, and strong sense of community. The city’s safe and welcoming environment, coupled with its tremendous potential for future growth, are among the many reasons I am proud to call West Liberty home.
What’s a goal you have for yourself that you want to accomplish in the next year?

As I begin my service as City Clerk, my primary goals for the coming year are to continue developing my professional knowledge through training opportunities, build strong relationships with municipal colleagues and community partners, and establish myself as a reliable and accessible resource for residents, elected officials, and city staff.

What are you happiest doing, when you’re not working?

I am the happiest spending time with family, taking walks with my dog, and watching a good movie!!

What would be your personal motto?
Work hard, stay humble, and serve others well.
