What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The State Auditor oversees the spending of more than 4,500 local units of government (e.g. school districts, counties, cities) that spend a combined more than $60 billion annually. Minnesotans recognize their hard-earned money is invested in their local communities, but they need to know their tax dollars are not going to waste or being abused.

Minnesotans want to know that they have an unbiased, qualified watchdog to prevent financial scandals from occurring and investigating and stopping them when they arise. They want someone who will shine a light on fraud, waste, and abuse. Minnesotans want a state auditor who will answer the questions that matter to them and who will stand up and protect both their tax dollars and the programs those dollars are meant to support. Because when fraud and waste occur, it doesn’t just hurt our checkbooks, it hurts those most in need. For example, when a program intended to feed children is defrauded, it means that food is taken from a child’s mouth. We must protect these programs so that we can protect the neediest among us.
