“Franklin County voters have not been offered a choice in electing the Assessor for more than a decade. The position was filled by the County Commissioners by appointment or incumbent running unopposed. The 2026 election finally presents the opportunity -and responsibility – for voters to make a choice. The Franklin Co. Assessors office has a key responsibility- to perform technical analysis necessary to provide accurate, fair taxable values for all properties in Franklin Co. While both candidates have managerial experience, only one has the technical background beneficial to this office. Chris Hollingsworth is the only candidate with 20 yrs. of experience performing appraisals so he can direct and evaluate the departments accuracy before its product is published. Equallly important, he is certified by the state of WA to train new appraisers. The value of technical knowledge and real world experience cannot be overstated. In Chris Hollingsworth you have both important factors to ensure the Assessors office provides confident service to Franklin Co. taxpayers. In my 30 yrs as a manager, I had to make many hiring decisions. Some were difficult, some easy. This one is easy. Make the best choice in the 2026 election for Franklin Co. Assessor . Vote for Chris Hollingsworth .”
