Independence of the Auditor of State office: 

The office of the Auditor of State must be independent of outside influences.  There can be no conflicts of interest, or even the appearance of a conflict, due to prior involvement in issues or influence of large donors.

The two major parties are too involved for too long with major political influences to be able to claim true independence or objectivity.

I am the only candidate that will be a truly independent auditor.  I am the only candidate who is a professional auditor and accountant.
​

Efficiency and Effectiveness of spending taxpayer dollars: 

​The Auditor's office conducts fiscal audits of the government entities within Ohio.  It also conducts performance audits of entities and organizations that spend taxpayer funds in order to ensure efficiency and effectiveness of their operations and to recommend areas of improvement.

As Auditor of State, independent of outside influences, I will focus resources on the most critical areas for both financial and performance audits.  Any special audits will receive the non-partisan, objective review process that I will bring to the office.

Non-partisan Redistricting:

The Auditor of State is a member of the Redistricting Commission, which will determine the State legislative and Congressional district boundaries.  The final decisions of this Commission will be critical in ending the gerrymandering practices of the major parties and help ensure fair elections statewide.

I will bring an independent, objective and non-partisan approach to the Redistricting Commission in order to end gerrymandering.  Legislators should not be selecting their voters; voters should be selecting their legislators
