Namie seeks re-election as county controller
Washington County Controller Michael L. Namie is seeking election to a fourth, four-year term.
Namie, a Democrat, said in a news release he plans to campaign for re-election based upon his record and 22 years of experience in the controller’s office.
Namie began serving as deputy controller in 1991, and he was elected in 2001 to serve as county controller the following year.
“My main goal is to always meet the taxpayers’ expectation that there is a ‘watchdog’ in county government making sure that tax dollars are being expended properly on their behalf,” Namie said in a statement.
“In keeping with that expectation, during my tenure I have consistently operated my office under budget, saving the taxpayers in excess of $260,000.”
Namie is a past president of the Pennsylvania State Association of County Controllers. He also serves as a member of the Washington County Prison Board, Washington County Salary Board and the county pension board.
A lifelong resident of Washington County, Namie is a 1986 graduate of Washington & Jefferson College. He and his wife, Cindy Cimino Namie, have two children, Michael, 19, and Morgan, 15. They reside in Canton Township.
