Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague announced her candidacy for Essex County Judge on Monday morning to a bundled-up crowd outside the old Essex County Courthouse. The Adirondack Daily Enterprise reports Sprague, 52, was elected district attorney in 2009 on the Republican and Conservative party lines. She has since been re-elected unopposed three times and is currently in her fourth term. She will be running against Essex County attorney Amy Quinn of Lake Placid, who announced her bid for the judge seat on Jan. 13.
