All of Lyon County’s Department heads have now officially declared their intentions of seeking re-election.
Lyon County Register of Deeds Wendy Weiss became the final department head to file for re-election Thursday. She now joins Lyon County Sheriff Jeff Cope, County Clerk Tammy Vopat and County Treasurer Sharon Gaede as having filed. County Attorney Marc Goodman has announced his plans for re-election but has yet to file.
Weiss has been with the county for the past 18-years and has spent the last four in her current role after taking over for former Register of Deeds Vicky Lopez. Weiss says she enjoys her position because there is a new adventure every day.
Along with the county department heads, County Commission Third District Republican Rollie Martin has filed for re-election and is currently running unopposed. Three Republicans — Robert McClelland, Phil Mott and Doug Peck — have all filed with intentions of replacing long-time Second District Commissioner Dan Slater who announced he will not be seeking re-election.
