I, Jeff Warner have filed for my seventh term as Bradford County Democratic Auditor. During my twenty-five years of serving the county I have developed a good working relationship with other county employees. I feel honored to be looking out for the best interests of county citizens and taxpayers. I continue to get educational credits by attending seminars at controller's conferences and also attending auditors' caucus training sessions. Being a life-long resident of Bradford County, and a graduate of Troy High School, intensifies my commitment to the betterment of the communities. I am a proud board member of the Troy Area School District Foundation. Other community activities include longtime board member of Bradford Sullivan American Red Cross and a founding member of the Wells Township Park Committee, also a county Democratic Committee person. My wife Lynda and I reside in Wells Township. We have three married children, eight grandchildren, and one great-grandson. I would appreciate your support in the upcoming election.
