Election insiders face election denier for Snohomish County auditor

EVERETT — Following the 2020 election, state Rep. Robert Sutherland said he didn’t believe it was a fair process and that Democrats had cheated. Now he’s running to oversee elections in Snohomish County.

Sutherland’s entry changed the tenor of a primary race between himself, independent Garth Fell and Democrat Cindy Gobel, who lost to Fell in 2019 by about 4,200 votes.

The candidates represent a wide range of voters who will determine the primary winners for county auditor by Aug. 1. The top two will compete for the nonpartisan position in November’s general election.

Qualifications

The auditor’s office heads four divisions: animal services, elections, licensing and recording. The most prominent division is elections, which oversees voter registration, ballot boxes and ballot processing.
