Garth Fell most qualified for county auditor post

Garth Fell, the current county auditor, has successfully led the Auditor’s Office for the last four years. Prior to being county auditor Garth was the county elections manager for 12 years and also managed the county’s recording division. All told, he has over 20 years of management experience in county government. Clearly, Garth is the most qualified candidate for county auditor because he has consistently demonstrated his extreme professionalism, competency and integrity as our county auditor.

As customers and taxpayers, you should demand that the Auditor’s Office be a well-run and efficient organization. Do the other two candidates have any executive leadership experience? Have the other two candidates ever been responsible for managing multimillion dollar budgets? Do the other two candidates have any clue what it means to run a complex county office that provides vital county services? Do the other two candidates have the integrity, demeanor and experience necessary to lead the Auditor’s Office? Not even close.

We need a proven, tested professional to lead the Auditor’s Office. Join me in voting for Garth Fell in the Tuesday primary for county auditor.
