Lauralee Kiesel
(States No Party Preference) statement appears humanI am a proud fourth-generation Jefferson County resident, currently residing on Chimacum Valley property that has been in my family for over 100 years. Married to my high school sweetheart, we are blessed with two amazing daughters, who were raised in Jefferson County, two wonderful sons-in-law, and two precious grandchildren. It is with great enthusiasm that I announce my candidacy for Jefferson County Auditor, a position of diverse duties and critical fiscal responsibilities mandated by the state. I am motivated to building upon the strong foundation established by previous Auditors and their dedicated staff. I am committed to ensuring a smooth transition while delivering excellent customer service to our community and fostering a workplace culture that emphasizes growth, collaboration, and value from within. I have greatly valued my years of public service in the Assessor’s Office, where I have developed valuable experience across a wide range of responsibilities including administrative operations, budgeting, levy processes, state reporting, and more. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to upholding the highest standards of accuracy, efficiency, and transparency. Thank you for your vote and confidence in allowing me the opportunity to serve our great community as your next Jefferson County Auditor.
