County Clerk Don Read and District Attorney Lawrence Friedman announced their campaigns for re-election Friday at Larry's Steakhouse.
Because of a prior commitment in Monroe County, I was unable to attend.
Read sends along the following statement:
I would like to briefly say that I have been proud to serve the residents of our County for four terms as the County Clerk. We have a fantastic staff who really knows what service to our residents constituents means and believes in what they are doing. I still love the work, the challenges, and especially the people who we serve. There are still several things that I had hoped to accomplish as County Clerk which are not complete. I look forward to the opportunity to continue working to improve accessibility to the records, to preserving the older records for the historical heritage of our county, and to providing the best possible experience for our residents in handling their motor vehicle transactions, real estate recordings, passport applications, pistol permit records, etc.
