La Crosse County’s new sheriff and clerk of courts have taken office.  Sheriff John Siegel and clerk Tammy Pedretti won their jobs in the November election, and both took the oath of office on Tuesday.  Judge Scott Horne presided over the ceremony.

Pedretti won the fall election against Kelly Goyette, who was appointed as clerk of court a year earlier.  Siegel defeated Fritz Leinfelder in the race to succeed Sheriff Jeff Wolf, in a contest which led to a partial recount.

Sheriff’s deputies and deputy clerks of court also were administered the oath at Tuesday’s ceremony at the La Crosse Courthouse.
