She first joined the county staff under Clerk & Recorder Norm Allen. She worked in the Clerk’s office for 24 years, working up to chief deputy under Joan Fitz-Gerald, who chose her for that position in spite of the fact that she and Fitz-Gerald were from different political parties. Faye was elected Clerk & Recorder in 1998 and was re-elected to a second four-year term in 2002. After coordinating numerous successful primary and general elections and modernizing and computerizing the Clerk and Recorder’s office, she ran for the post of County Treasurer in 2006. She served two years of a four-year term as Treasurer before her successful bid for the Board of Commissioners seat. Faye is a Jeffco native who graduated from Golden High School.

They live outside Golden in unincorporated Jefferson County.
