County auditor: Fell is experienced, respected

The facts are clear. Garth Fell is the only candidate with the experience to lead the county auditor’s office.

The Auditor’s Office is responsible for many important county services including elections. With 20 years of management experience through even the most intense elections, Garth’s teams have been recognized nationally for their work in ballot processing and voter education. He has managed multi-million-dollar budgets and complex projects and programs. And he has done this work in an honest, fair, transparent manner.

This experience is why elected officials across our community and state have endorsed Garth.

In an act of desperation, auditor candidate Cindy Gobel has gathered a handful of disgruntled former employees to continue with her line of misrepresentations and untruths. Mimicking national political strategy, Gobel has harnessed what we hate most about politics to try and spin this election her way. Don’t believe Cindy’s pumped-up claims.

Democrats, Republicans and independents: review the qualifications of the candidates, see who is endorsing them and join me in voting for an honest, experienced professional in Garth Fell for County Auditor.

FILE — Supporters of President Donald Trump storm the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Jan. 6, 2021. The Supreme Court’s ruling that Trump enjoyed broad immunity from prosecution over official acts has opened the possibility that more evidence in his attempt to subvert the 2020 election could be revealed in public court filings — maybe even before the upcoming presidential election.
