Voorhies was appointed as Lawrence County Clerk after the former clerk, Billie Tumey, vacated the position to serve as the City of Bedford Clerk-Treasurer.

Voorhies was the only candidate to file for the position before the deadline for the announced caucus, which made the caucus unnecessary. Amy’s husband, family, several co-workers, and former Clerk Billie Tumey joined her for the swearing-in ceremony.
