Andrew Sorrell to Run for State Auditor

 

Andrew Sorrell of Muscle Shoals is currently the state representative from District 3; however, that may soon change. Sorrell has announced he will be running for State Auditor in 2022.

Current auditor Jim Zeigler is in his second term and not eligible to run for a third at this time. During Zeigler's tenure, the state has reduced the number of employees in the auditor's office, ostensibly due to budget constraints.

There has been discussion of completely eliminating the office and allowing each state department to police the areas currently covered by the auditor. If that doesn't sound problematic to you, it should.

Since Andrew has been in office, he has consistently fought for this area, as well as animal welfare and fewer business restrictions. There have been a few times we've disagreed with him, but have never doubted his honesty or work ethic.

At this point, we don't know who will be running against Rep. Sorrell, but we can't imagine anyone of more integrity in the position. Good luck, Andrew!
