Shortly after obtaining my undergraduate degree I joined the Seattle Police Department, where I worked as an officer and detective for 6 years. In this time, I spent 3 years as a detective of audits and inspections, directly responsible for conducting performance audits related to the Department’s consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice. I obtained national certification as a law enforcement auditor in this assignment from the International Law Enforcement Auditor’s Association (ILEAA). In addition to my duties on the consent decree, I also performed internal audits of property, narcotics, money, and other records that were required of us by state and federal law. Some of these very audits are those required by the Washington State Auditor’s Office. – leybaaudits.com

Our state continues to be a national leader in voter participation, engagement and security. In the 2018 General Election, Washington voters cast more ballots than any of the other top ten states and nearly beat a state mid-term turnout record set back in 1970! We also improved the security and integrity of our election system by working with our county election officials to strengthen our cyber security protocols to fight off threats wherever they come from.
We made it easier to start or maintain a business or charity in our state by expanding access to our Corporations and Charities services. Now our customers can perform the vast majority of their transactions online, saving them time and reducing the need for travel to Olympia. We have reduced paperwork processing times from weeks to minutes and continue our focus on improving the customer experience.– kimwyman.com

A huge THANK YOU to all who attended the Clallam County Republican Party County Convention 2020 on March 25, 2020 and helped to make it a success!
This was a “first” for our county holding a county convention online. It was successful in great part to the programmer who set up the voting program so we could have secret ballots for the election, and most of all, the county delegates who attended and participated! We successfully filled our entire slate of State Delegates and just shy of a full slate of Alternates. Next our elected state delegates will represent Clallam County Republicans at the State Convention to help craft an excellent platform and elect delegates to the national convention, where we will nominate our presidential candidate – Donald J. Trump! 🙂
Thank you all for everything you did – it goes to show that American ingenuity and determination will get ‘er done, despite potential adversities! 🙂
Latest News about Election 2020
Voter Registration in your Church
There is a lot of misinformation about what churches are allowed to do in the political arena – misinformation that is spread by liberals and groups that don’t want to see conservative people of faith speak out and have an impact. They attempt to scare pastors from participating by claiming that, if they get involved, their church will lose its tax-exempt status. But that’s just not true.
What is a caucus and why is it important to you?
Caucuses are a gathering of individuals from each precinct across the county. The purpose of a caucus is 2-fold. You and your Republican neighbors will meet to determine issues you’d like included or changed on the county platform and possible resolutions. Secondly, you will elect delegates to the county convention, to be held March 28, 2020.
