In November, Oneida County voters have the opportunity to vote for a candidate who is perfect for the position she seeks. I speak of Mary Finegan, who is the Republican candidate for Oneida County clerk.

She brings a sterling record of experience earned and learned as the Whitestown town clerk, a position she has held for over 16 years. In addition, she has productive relationships with the Oneida County Executive, the Board of Legislators, and countywide clerks and municipal leadership teams. That will be of invaluable help in securing the necessary support for county clerk functions, especially the Department of Motor Vehicles. 

That blend of experience, building positive relationships and proven strength of leadership has earned our vote. Mary Finegan will make an outstanding Oneida County clerk. I urge voters to support her on November 8.
