Vancouver resident Lew Waters weighs in on the race for Clark County auditor
Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are those of the author alone and do not reflect the editorial position of ClarkCountyToday.com
Greg Kimsey has served as Clark County County Auditor for several years with integrity and honesty.
Brett Simpson, on the other hand, is neck deep in the fringe, far-right group that infiltrated and now wields far too much power, division and infighting within the Clark County Republican Party. We see his campaign deeply steeped in slander and defamation and not any qualifications of his to hold the office.
It should be frightening to Clark County voters imagining that fringe, win by any means element controlling our elections as they do their party.
Greg Kimsey is our only choice for county auditor if we want to keep our Elections Department fair and honest.

I’m sick ‘n tired of career politicians. If the candidate is a two-term or more encumbant, I’ll NOT be voting for them.
Yes, this includes greg kimsey and patty murray… some of the finest examples of the need for term limits.
Lew Waters doesn’t know what he is talking about. Greg Kimsey isn’t honest or have integrity. Kimsey has been there too long and we need new blood and someone willing to do the job.
Waters far leftists’ remarks describing Brett Simpson and the Republican party makes Lew Waters look like a Socialist/Marxist propagandist.
I know some Precinct Officers who knock on doors. Kinsey hasn’t kept up with the people who vote, where they live, how many voters in a house, or if they died. Many voters have moved and their homes still have their ballots sent there. My friend’s decease mother got two ballots sent to her former home. Ask a Precinct Officer what they have found out about Greg Kimsey’s honesty and fair election practices, from the information they gathered knocking on doors. Ask an election ballot observer what they are allowed to do or NOT do, thanks to Greg Kimsey. Clark County just had some leftist democrats damage or rip down republican signs. Waters slanderous remarks go along with that.
We need to clean up election fraud. It starts by not re-electing the man who helped cause it and by NOT doing his job.
Vote Brett Simpson to make your votes count!
Lew Waters is correct in his assessment of Greg Kimsey as an outstanding county auditor. For 13 years it was my honor and privilege to not only reside in Clark County but to have Greg Kimsey as a next-door neighbor. A finer man I’ve never had as a neighbor. As a public servant, his impeccable record reflects full transparency, hard work, innovation, dedicated outreach efforts to the community and the highest integrity. (Full disclosure: I no longer reside in Clark County.)
While Lew bloviates and spews his bias about Simpson’s “deeply steeped in slander and defamation” campaign, he and others seemingly fail to recite a single specific rebuttal to the volumes of on-the-record accusations Simpson makes. As Kimsey hides in the basement and insulates, Simpson is unafraid and making sense to alot of people who are waking up from the slumber you promote. He is direct and clear. And he’s likely onto something.
All I see from Kimsey supporters is attempted character assassination. They should be trying to argue against the massive information Simpson presents on his website https://www.simpson4auditor.com/ if they can. Have at it, Kimsey supporters, we’ll wait until Tuesday for your response. I’m pretty sure my family is voting for Brett Simpson.
