Camas resident Anna Miller wrote to the Clark County Today editorial board to voice strong support for auditor candidate Eileen Quiring O’Brien. Miller praised O’Brien’s clear commitment that the county auditor’s office should be “beholden to no one but Clark County voters,” a promise she says reflects a needed focus on election integrity.
Accountability as the cornerstone
According to Miller, there can be “no question” about which candidate truly understands the seriousness of safeguarding elections. She argues that O’Brien’s pledge to “run a tight ship” demonstrates the kind of fiscal and procedural discipline that voters expect from the office that oversees the county’s elections, finances, and public records.
Public debate and voter outreach
Miller points readers to a short clip from CVTV that captured the auditor’s debate, which was sponsored by the League of Women Voters. The video, she notes, offers voters a chance to see O’Brien discuss her platform directly and evaluate how she plans to keep the auditor’s office transparent and responsive.
Why voter‑focused leadership matters
For many Clark County residents, the auditor’s role has become a focal point in the broader conversation about election security and fiscal responsibility. Miller’s letter underscores that a candidate who explicitly states the office will answer only to the electorate aligns with the community’s desire for honest, non‑partisan oversight.
Local reaction
The letter, published on September 25, 2026, reflects a growing sentiment among voters who are eager for candidates who prioritize the public’s trust over special interests. Miller’s endorsement adds a personal, grassroots voice to O’Brien’s campaign, reinforcing the message that local leadership should be rooted in the community it serves.
Next steps for voters

Miller encourages all voters to consider how each candidate’s commitment to accountability will impact the integrity of county elections and the stewardship of public funds.
