Wylie will not be campaigning until her legislative work wraps up in March
VANCOUVER — Sharon Wylie, a longtime public servant with decades of experience in government leadership, financial oversight, and public accountability, today announced her candidacy for Clark County auditor, and that she will not be running for re-election as State Representative from the 49th Legislative District.
Wylie is currently serving her eighth term representing the Vancouver community in the Washington State House of Representatives. Over her career, she has worked across local and state government, nonprofit organizations, and regional partnerships, with a consistent focus on transparency, effective administration, and public trust.
“The county auditor plays a critical role in ensuring elections are fair and accurate, public records are accessible, and county licensing functions are efficient,” Wylie said. “This is a position that requires independence, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of how government systems work. I believe my experience makes me well prepared to serve Clark County in this role.”
As county auditor, Wylie would oversee elections, financial reporting, public records, and licensing functions that residents rely on every day. She emphasized the importance of maintaining public
confidence in these systems through professionalism, accuracy, and clear communication.
Throughout her career, Wylie has worked closely with local governments, state agencies, and
community partners to solve complex problems and improve public services. She has been involved in budget development, financial policy, infrastructure planning, and legislative oversight, bringing a practical, solutions-oriented approach to public service.
“My goal has always been to make government work better for the people it serves,” Wylie said. “That means doing the work carefully, listening to concerns, and making sure systems are fair, transparent, and reliable.”
More information about Sharon Wylie’s candidacy will be released in the coming weeks, as she will not be campaigning until her legislative work wraps up in March.

Good. That’s one way of getting rid of a useless legislator. At 76 yrs old, and in her 8th term, she is the poster child for term limits. She’s pretty worthless. She’s likely reading the handwriting on the wall and knows that her days as a Democrat representative are numbered. It is sensed that Wash. voters are getting pretty tired of the Democrat shenanigans that have become the norm.
