Helen Mayhak

Helen Mayhak was the township clerk of Hartford Township in Michigan, United States, for 40 years. She was first elected to this position in 1964, and died at the age of 91 years, on January 8, 2005. At the time of her death, she was the longest-serving public official in the state of Michigan.

She became controversial toward the end of her tenure as township clerk when her performance reportedly suffered, resulting in state and federal fines to the township of $3,250 for failing to submit required tax reports on time. In addition, paperwork delays attributed to her poor performance reportedly cost the township over $4,000 in revenue sharing from the state, and interfered with residents obtaining absentee ballots in a timely manner.
