Lancaster County Clerk of the District Court

The former chief deputy for the Lancaster County treasurer is running to replace the incumbent Lancaster County district court clerk. Because both are Democrats, only one will emerge from the May 12 primary election.

The winner of the race between Kristen Anderson and the current clerk, Simon Rezac, who was appointed in 2024, will face Republican Landon Parks in the Nov. 3 general election.
