Kenton County Circuit Clerk John Middleton announced that he intends to run for reelection next year.
A Republican, Middleton has held the position since 2007.
In Kentucky, circuit court clerks are responsible for managing the records of circuit and district courts. Specifically, their duties include receiving lawsuits and court documents, recording legal documents, providing legal documents and other legal materials, scheduling juries, receiving and disbursing money, and maintaining the jury system.
Circuit court clerks serve six-year terms.
“We can always be encouraging innovation to create a more efficient clerk’s office,” Middleton said.
