Hamilton County Clerk Tammy Baitz has issued a letter saying it is her “intention not to seek a fourth term as Clerk of the Courts.”  In lhe letter, published in the November 30th edition of the Hamilton County Reporter, Baitz  wrote she has “seen many changes over my years working in the office – most recently with the implementation of e-filing.”

“I have thoroughly enjoyed serving as an elected official and want to thank the citizens of Hamilton County for the privilege” Baitz wrote.

Baitz had worked under several clerks when she ran for Clerk and served two terms, from 2000 through 2007. Her third term began Jan. 1, 2015, and will end Dec. 31, 2018.

“I am very proud of my staff of 50 full- and part-time deputy clerks and the work they accomplish each day on behalf of the county,” Baitz wrote.

The office of Hamilton County Clerk will be up for re-election during the 2018 election cycle.
