Sutton holds a B.S. in Agriculture and an M.S. from Murray State University.
"I would like to thank Governor Bevin for appointing me as magistrate and giving me the opportunity to serve the citizens of Lyon County," said Sutton. "Lyon County is a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family. I look forward to working with all members of the community and other fiscal court members as we try and improve our county."
This appointment will take effect April 12, 2019. Sutton will serve until the position is filled in accordance with the results of the November 2019 general election, pursuant to the provisions of Section 152 of the Kentucky Constitution.
