From the conservative leaning RhinoTimes: “Speaking of shaking things up in Raleigh, if you want to find out where some of our tax dollars are going, vote for Fern Shubert for state auditor. It gives me great pleasure to think of the fear that will run through the entrenched bureaucracy in Raleigh if Shubert is elected state auditor because she is smart, well trained and extremely tenacious. Shubert is a certified public accountant (CPA), which sets her apart from some in the race, but seems like it should be a requirement to be state auditor. She has also served in the NC state House and NC state Senate.” RhinoTimes John Hammer Editor, May 3, 2012

From the liberal leaning IndyWeekly: “We endorse Fern Shubert as the Republican candidate up to that task. A certified public accountant, she has uncovered, and helped recover, $500,000 in waste as a consultant for the town of Marshville, N.C., and was awarded the Accountant Advocate of the Year award by the U.S. Small Business Administration.” IndyWeekly, week of May 1st, 2012
