Auditor Lori Larsen
I am writing to thank the Stevens County Republican Committee for recognizing the excellent work of our auditor, Lori Larsen. On July 12, 2025, the Stevens County Republican Central Committee unanimously passed a resolution of appreciation for Lori Larsen. The motion stated, “In light of the concerns about voter integrity in our state and nation, we want to express our appreciation and support for our county auditor, Lori Larsen, who has modeled voter integrity.” I want to add my thanks to Lori for what she has done. The role of the auditor is a difficult one at times. Occasionally, she has to say “no” when plans are proposed that violate the law or to urge caution when commissioners or department heads want to engage in transactions that would not serve the county interests. In addition to ensuring voter integrity, Lori has implemented a fraud alert system to alert homeowners when some fraudster attempts to tamper with the title of a property. She also has set up a website for county historical records and she has expanded vehicle licensing offices to serve more county locations. For all the above reasons, I support Lori Larsen for re-election and remind all county voters of the adage, “If it is not broken, don’t fix it.” Our auditor’s office is not broken. Under Lori Larsen’s leadership, it is functioning well.
