The expected Republican candidate for Jefferson County Clerk will also get the Independence Party line on the November ballot.
Meeting in West Carthage Tuesday night, the party's committee gave its nod to Cheryl Lane, who is currently a clerk at the county DMV.
Lane is expected to face Democrat Gertrude Karris of Sackets Harbor in the fall election.
"She's the perfect fit for the job," said county Independence Party chair John Rice.
The committee also expressed its preference for County Judge Kim Martusewicz for reelection.
However, the rules say that in a judicial race, there has to be a primary. Martusewicz is being challenged by Republican John Hallett.
