Casper Star Tribune – The sitting clerk of district court in Natrona County will try to keep her seat in November’s election.

Jill Kiester was appointed to the position in March 2021, after previous clerk Ann Volin died in February. Volin worked for the court for 32 years.

Kiester is a long-time county employee and led the Child Support Enforcement office for 27 years.

She said in a statement Friday she will be running as a Republican.

“It is my privilege and my honor to get to do this job every day,” Kiester said in the announcement. “I am happy to continue to make this office as efficient as possible and to serve the people of Natrona County as the Clerk of District Court.”

The position maintains records in Natrona County’s Seventh District, including for criminal, civil, probate and juvenile cases. The district has one of the largest caseloads in the state and handles child support payments and restitution.
