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.

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.

​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.
