Two file for circuit clerk

Two Republicans have filed to run for Circuit Clerk in Crittenden County.

According to County Clerk Carolyn Byford, Melissa Dawn Guill and Vanda Hunt Adamson filed for the office today. They are two of three people who took the circuit clerk's exam earlier this month to qualify for the post. The test is given only one time when a term is to be filled.

Longtime Circuit Clerk Madeline Henderson earlier this year announced her intentions to retire from office. She has served in that capacity since 1994 after working 11 years in the office as a deputy clerk.

Guill currently serves as chief deputy clerk under Henderson. Adamson works for the Marion law firm of Frazer, Rogers and Peek.

The Kentucky primary election is May 22. The filing deadline for office is Jan. 31.
