The woman looking to become Cayuga County’s next clerk has picked up the support of six town supervisors.
The town supervisors of Aurelius, Springport, Throop, Victory, Montezuma, and Summerhill have endorsed Kristine Lytle in her bid to succeed Sue Dwyer as county clerk.
In the announcement, Aurelius Town Supervisor Edward Ide stated “as town supervisors we are focused on meeting the needs of our constituents. We know that competent and experienced staff is the only way to do it. We support Kristine Lytle for County Clerk because she best meets that criteria”
