Gray for Stevens County auditor
Tim Gray has been Stevens County auditor for more than 23 years. He has been there that long because he serves the people of Stevens County very well. He has a large staff who work hard to provide many services to the public. I have never heard any complaint about how he treats people. He represents the very best in public servants.
He is very supportive to the other departments in county government and is always ready to help. Many department heads and elected officials share this same experience with Tim as I do.
Mr. Gray has a difficult job. He gives monthly reports and advice to the commissioners on the financial position of the county. He audits the many grants and departments and prepares the budget and the state audit each year.
There is some nonsense criticism of Tim Gray from his political opponent who has no auditor experience, but I keep track of the state auditor’s reports on Stevens County. Stevens County has never lost a dollar as a result of the work of Tim Gray.
I am happy to endorse him for county auditor. He does a good job. He should be re-elected.
