Ms Mitchell, who is telling Wicomico County voters that she’s an “accountant”, is the second Democrat candidate for the Wicomico County Council to pose as an accomplished professional – Ron Pagano being the first. However, she tells them nothing about her actual experience as a bean counter, which we understand is slim to none.
If Ms. Mitchell is really trained in that field and has practiced as an accountant, she should divulge the details, including where and when she was certified as a CPA and her experience.
We expect that she will remain silent, so we ask those in the know to speak up by sending comments. The voters deserve to have the whole truth before early voting begins next week.
At least Pagano was a practicing attorney for several years.

Salisbury residents may be stupid enough to elect her but I think Wicomico County residents as a whole are certainly much more intelligent than to elect someone like her.
The only she knows about accounting.......is how to file a bogus expense acct. voucher to bilk the county outta $$$$$! Accountant my ass!
Just because you may have a degree in accounting doesn't automatically make you an accountant.
An accountant is someone who is actively engaged in the practice of financial accounting.
It's not necessary to be an accountant and be a CPA because many accounting functions do not require licensing, e.g. cost accountant/financial accountant work internally in a corporation. Even in public accounting, not all functions require CPA license. e.g. an enrolled agent can prepare a client's tax return, he/she just can not represent the client in front of IRS, but CPA can.
From her site-"Laura earned her M.B.A. with undergraduate degrees in Accounting and Business Administration, and has 23 years of governmental and private industry finance experience, including a stint as the Finance Director for a small municipality in Delaware."
Interesting that she puts no names to her supposed 23 year work history.
What good is an Accountant when you have Government that is totally unaccountable?...
If she wins there will just be one less Bar stool open at Backstreet and another expense account entry.. I bet that is what she sees Accounting in Government as being.. maybe she interned at the Board of Education
7:44 - let's hope so!
Laura, Gary, and Wayne sitting on bar stools taking care of the business for the rest of us 95,000 idiots if we don't vote for Bob Culver and John Cannon.
Accountant on welfare? Something's wrong here!
She may have enough classes too sit for the CPA exam but to my knowledge she has not done that.
Don't forget Josh Hastings was her campaign manager and treasurer and he is running for the County Council. Look at this scenario that could possibly happen. Ernie Davis has already won. Laura and Josh could win and that will give you 3 liberal Democrats on the Council. John Hall is married to a Democrat and he is a Known RINO. That's the majority and now you have a Democrat controlled Counry Council. Wicomico County is DOOMED!
No listing for a Laura Mitchell on the MD Dept of Labor, Licensing and Regulation which lists those currently holding a CPA license.
Could be that if she is currently licensed she uses another name (maiden) but as far as Laura Mitchell, no.
Do a background.ck on her.
What school awarded her an MBA?
Think her mastery of numbers goes as far as her alleged EBT password.

Does she really drink on bar stools at the Back Street?
Joe what's lauras maiden name.
I watched the County Council Forum at the Civic Center last night and I saw Josh Hastings express his love for Norman Conway.
Remember Josh Hastings is the guy that is telling everyone he is a Moderate or an independent or a conservative Democrat.
No Son you are a full fledged Democrat and YOU are not getting our votes!
Why are THESE people NOT vetted?
An accountant who can't even budget her personal finances... that's rich.
Accountant my ass. If so why can't she account for her stupidity
Laura Mitchell is on welfare, housing assistance, Medicaid, food stamps and an EBT card so how in the Hell is she an Accountant.
She has never been employed and she wants to be your council member. If you vote for her or any Democrat you have lost your mind.
Being an accountant does you no good if you don't have a job that pays.
Laura Mitchell was standing by me that evening and her body odor was horrible.
There needs to be an over investigation, I agree with 11:47 since she ran for city council we knew something was wrong. When there is a picture on mention of her in the Metropolitan she will be under Laura Mitchell, or will use her husband's name, get to the bottom of both of them PLEASE!
Ask the "accountant" where the money went in the Wicomico Democratic Club when she was the treasurer and her husband the president. It was all hushed up by the local Dems.
The Daily Litter Box Liner has recently Laura Mitchell and Josh Hastings over the more qualified John Cannon and Larry Dodd. The Daily times even said she was an accountant so they are lying for her. Wicomico County is circling the drain right now and this County will be in the sewer if those two get elect.
All Republicans, good Democrats and Independents need to get out and vote for John Cannon and Larry Dodd over those two liberal tree huggers. This County will never recover if the liberal majority take over the County Council.
Please get out and vote Republican
Vote Republican
Wicomico County Executive
Bob Culver
Wicomico County Council
John Cannon
Matt Holloway
Marc Kilmer
Larry Dodd
Joe Holloway
Vote Republican! In Wicomico County you must Vote Republican!
