Pettis County Circuit Clerk Susan Sadler announced she will file for re-election for the position when filing opens Tuesday.
After more than 20 years of service as deputy clerk, Sadler was elected to the circuit clerk position in 2006. She said the office has experienced many changes in the four years since she was elected, most notably the consolidation of all three divisions of the Pettis County Circuit Court system and the installation of digital recording systems.
