Niagara County Clerk

On this Memorial Day, let us reflect , appreciate and remember that the freedoms we enjoy today, have been preserved and protected by the sacrifices of our service members and the families and loved ones who supported them. Today we thank you.

Clerk Jastrzemski welcomes the New York State Volunteer Fire Police Association to Niagara County for their 2026 Convention. Thank you NYS Volunteer Fire Police for serving communities throughout New York State!

Clerk Jastrzemski spoke to a packed house last night as Niagara County gun owners and second amendment advocates met to discuss the ongoing legislation regarding second amendment rights in New York State and across the Country.

Niagara County Clerk Joseph A. Jastrzemski accepted a check from Teresa Manna, Commander of the Navy Marine Club Ship 110 in Lockport that will be used for the beautification of the county’s Purple Heart Monument and surrounding courtyard outside of the Niagara County Courthouse. Joining Clerk Jastrzemski and Commander Manna were County Legislators Tony Nemi and Rick Abbott as well as the county’s Veterans Service Agency (VSA) team.

Niagara County became a Purple Heart County in 2019 and dedicated the Purple Heart Monument in 2023. The Purple Heart is awarded to those wounded or killed as a result of enemy action while serving in the U.S. military. Nearly 500 names of Niagara County residents who received a Purple Heart are currently listed on the monument and in the Purple Heart Book which is on display in the courthouse rotunda.

“We thank Commander Manna and all the members of the Navy Marine Club for their generous donation that allows us to enhance the monument and surrounding courtyard so veterans, their families and other community members can visit and reflect on these great heroes who sacrificed so much serving our country,” said Jastrzemski.
