Former interim clerk announces candidacy
Jeff Wyrick — former Butler County Chief Deputy Clerk of Courts and former interim Butler County Clerk of Courts — has announced his candidacy to run against current clerk Mary Swain.
In an April 2 letter to the Butler County Republican Party’s central and executive committees, Wyrick announced his “intention to seek the endorsement” of the party for the March 2012 primary for the Butler County Clerk of Courts.
Wyrick was seeking the appointment of the Butler County Republican Party’s Central Committee in January, losing by five votes in a second vote to Swain. Within Swain’s first month on the job, she terminated Wyrick along with four others who served under former Clerk of Court Cindy Carpenter — who won a county commission seat in November and sworn in to the position in January.
In his letter, Wyrick wrote: “During my campaign for the Clerk’s appointment this past year, I chose not to attack nor speak negatively about my opponents in that race nor will I do so now. Once again, I will run on my qualifications and vast experience of working inside the Clerk’s office and maintaining good relationships with those who worked alongside me at that county agency.”
