Announcement follows Greg Kimsey’s declaration that he will not seek re-election
VANCOUVER – On Tuesday (Jan. 6), Vancouver City Council Member Ty Stober announces his candidacy for Clark County auditor, following the announced retirement of current Auditor Greg Kimsey after 27 years of service to Clark County.
“I want to thank Greg Kimsey for his nearly three decades of exemplary leadership and his unwavering commitment to public service as our auditor,” Stober said. “Clark County has benefited from Greg’s stewardship, and it’s an honor to seek the opportunity to build on his legacy.”
Stober’s announcement stated that “the Clark County auditor, as chief elections officer, safeguards every citizen’s right to vote. Additionally, the auditor plays a vital role in county government by providing financial account management and control functions and by issuing important licenses such as those for marriage and vehicle registration. Ty’s background in business and public service positions him strongly to fulfill these diverse and essential responsibilities with integrity and dedication.’’
Stober, who has called Clark County home for 27 years, has served as a Vancouver City Council member since 2016, gaining experience in local government, fiscal responsibility, and community engagement. With a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from the University of Puget Sound and an MBA from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Stober claims to bring a strong educational background and a proven record of leadership to the race.
Stober said his campaign will center around the core values of trust, accountability, and transparency.
“As an Eagle Scout, I learned the importance of citizenship and the right to vote. Clark County citizens deserve elections they can trust and all residents deserve an auditor who will protect the integrity of our public services, ensure that taxpayer resources are managed wisely, and foster open, honest communication with the community,” Stober said. “I am committed to upholding these values, strengthening public trust, and ensuring that the auditor’s office remains transparent and responsive to the needs of every citizen and resident.”
Stober said he looks forward to meeting with Clark County voters and sharing his vision for an auditor’s office that will continue to set the standard for excellence, innovation, and ethical leadership.
