Secretary of State: Wyman has backing of election officials

With 13 years of experience as Snohomish County auditor, I am confident that Kim Wyman is exactly the kind of elected official we need as Secretary of State.

Secretary Wyman offers Washingtonians a wealth of knowledge and experience that can only be obtained through a 27-year long career in elections. Her work experience is unrivaled by any of her previous, current or future opponents.

The challenges that 2020 has presented just illustrates the importance of having confidence in our elections process. It is paramount to have the top election official that ensures that our elections are run fairly and conducted in a non-partisan manner. I have firsthand experience as former chief election officer in Snohomish County of Secretary Wyman’s longstanding commitment to a non-partisan approach to the administration of elections. She has earned overwhelming bipartisan support from local election officials which only exemplifies she has what it takes to protect all votes and all voters.

In addition, Kim Wyman is repeatedly consulted by other election officials across our country; Kim Wyman is known for her expertise, her innovation and her commitment to a fair election process. I urge all voters to re-elect Kim Wyman for Secretary of State
