State Assemblywoman Jamie Romeo has announced her intention to run for Monroe County Clerk in 2020.
Romeo announced her bid in an email to the Monroe County Democratic Committee, a copy of which was obtained by the Democrat and Chronicle Thursday.
"I am excited to confirm that I will be seeking the nomination for Monroe County Clerk in the 2020 cycle. With a strong partnership with the incoming Bello Administration, I believe the clerk’s office must be a key component to seeing the transformational change our community has demanded at 39 West Main Street."
She later confirmed the announcement in a text message.
Romeo, 34, a Democrat from Irondequoit, is a first-term Assemblywoman for the 136th District. In the email she stated she wouldn't seek re-election for that seat. She replaced Joseph Morelle, who left the seat to run for Congress. Morelle currently represents New York's 25th Congressional District. Read more HERE.
