Governor Announces New Monroe County Clerk

February 11th, 2020

Governor Cuomo appointed Assembly member Jamie Romeo to the vacant Monroe County Clerk position this week. Romeo had previously announced her candidacy for the open position after its previous occupant, Adam Bello, vacated the seat in January after taking office as the Monroe County Executive. It is unclear if the Governor will call a special election to fill her now vacant Assembly seat.

Assembly Member Jamie Romeo said:

“I want to thank Governor Cuomo for this tremendous honor and vote of confidence. Serving Monroe County has been a passion of mine since before I could register to vote, and I am humbled at the opportunity to continue serving the residents of our great community. I have an ambitious vision for the County Clerk’s Office, and working with our partners in government like County Executive Adam Bello I am confident we will continue to pull back the veil that has hidden County Government from the residents it serves for far too long. County Government, including the Clerk’s Office, has tremendous opportunity to create tangible, positive change in our community and I look forward to being a part of this new era in Monroe County’s history.”
