Evidence backs Garth Fell for county auditor post

Published 1:30 am Saturday, July 29, 2023

Spoiler alert: People writing letters to the editor in support of candidates are typically not strangers to the candidate and are biased. So how does a voter filter through these letters to the editor for truth?

In the county auditor’s race, Garth Fell is the only candidate with verifiable management experience in elections, over 20 years’ worth in fact. For the last four years, through a global pandemic and political divisiveness, Garth has calmly and professionally led our county auditor’s office, delivering accurate elections and ensuring efficient, customer-focused services.

Want more evidence? As another letter writer pointed out, Garth has also kept his promises from 2019. He has installed 12 more ballot boxes, increased communication and outreach to the public and delivered accurate, accessible, secure and transparent elections.

Garth Fell is no stranger to me. I know Garth through my wife. But I also know how to look at evidence. And the evidence, as the Herald Editorial Board points out, “overwhelmingly” favors reelecting Garth Fell for County Auditor. Please join me in voting for Garth Fell in the Tuesday Primary.
