MIDDLEBURG - Irene C. Harris will be seeking the position of Prothonotary and Clerk of Courts for Snyder County.
Harris said she is running because she believes the voters of Snyder County deserve an option when going to the polls.
She said the dictionary defines election as the right, power, or privilege of making a choice. Harris believes the word career and politician should not be used in the same sentence.
