Public servant and community advocate Jeremy Harrison-Smith announced his campaign for Skagit County Auditor. Harrison-Smith, a Democrat, said he will focus on making sure every eligible voter has their voice heard through elections that are accurate, accessible, and transparent, while also improving customer service and access to information in the auditor’s office.
As a lifelong Skagit County resident, Jeremy was born and raised in the community and now lives in Clear Lake with his wife, Johanna, and their five-year-old daughter. He brings more than a decade of experience expanding civic participation and improving access to government services. As the Northwest Regional Representative in the governor’s office, he supported residents during recent flood relief efforts, providing Skagitonians with important information and connecting them to valuable state resources.
“I have a deep commitment to fairness, inclusion, and public service,” Harrison-Smith said. “I believe transparency and accountability are essential for any good government, and this is especially true for the county auditor.”
Jeremy has been a strong advocate for expanding language access and outreach, particularly within Latino communities, using his Spanish fluency to engage new voters and strengthen community connections. He also brings experience in organizational leadership, budget oversight, collaboration, and serving diverse communities from prior roles in nonprofit leadership and as a preschool teacher.
As Auditor, Harrison-Smith will focus on safeguarding Skagit County’s vote-by-mail system, ensuring accurate and transparent elections, and modernizing services to better meet the needs of a growing and diverse population.
“I believe that the future of our democracy is at a tipping point, and we need to guarantee that our kids and future generations inherit a secure system,” Harrison-Smith said. “I am ready to serve and work for that future. The county auditor should be someone who stands up for free and fair elections and protects the integrity of our voting process.”
