IDER, Ala. – Today, Ider native Todd Greeson announced his run for DeKalb County Circuit Clerk.
The seat is currently occupied by Democrat incumbent Pam Simpson, and Melissa Ledbetter has previously announced a Republican campaign for the position.
We talked to Greeson earlier today about his decision to run while he was getting ready for the Ider Christmas parade.
"I had some citizens in the county approach me about making a run for it, on the Republican ticket," said Greeson. "It wasn't something I could decide overnight. I had to discuss it with my family. Because campaigns really effect more than just yourself, it effects your whole family."
"After a long discussion with several members of my family, we decided to make a bid for the nomination next year," said Greeson.
We'll have more on this story in the coming weeks. 2018 qualifying for the Republican party will be going on throughout the month of January.
