LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Lake County’s clerk/auditor-controller said she is not seeking reelection.
Cathy Saderlund confirmed to Lake County News that she won’t run for another term.
Saderlund has worked for the county of Lake for more than 40 years, beginning as an account clerk.
In October 2011, the Board of Supervisors appointed Saderlund county clerk/auditor-controller to fill the unexpired term of Pam Cochrane.
She would go on to appear on the ballot twice, in 2014 and 2018, running unopposed both times.
In January, Saderlund filed a candidate intention statement. However, when the deadline arrived on Friday to submit declaration of candidacy and nomination papers, she did not file for reelection.
Saderlund said personal reasons over the past month have led her to decide to retire.
She said her assistant, Jenavive Herrington, filed papers on Friday to run for the county clerk/auditor-controller’s job.
Herrington will have been with the county clerk/auditor-controller’s office a year on May 1, Saderlund said.
In cases where incumbents don’t file to run for reelection, the nomination period is extended.
That was the case for the county clerk/auditor-controller’s position, with the nomination period now ending at 5 p.m. Wednesday, the Registrar of Voters Office reported.
In addition to Saderlund, Treasurer-Tax Collector Barbara Ringen also is not running for another term and will retire at the end of this year, so the nomination period also has been extended for that office.
Additional information about running for the offices is available by contacting the elections office at 707-263-2372.
