If and when I’m elected governor, I’ve got a robust plan to get Iowa back on track by bringing accountability back to state government.

(As to whether or not the partisans in the legislature will operate in good faith, well, let’s just say we’re going to have to turn up the pressure on that front.)

In my final year as State Auditor, we’ve put together a list of legislative priorities that would tackle corruption, cut down on misuse of taxpayer dollars, and hold bad actors accountable.

I’ve always worked tirelessly to earn and maintain Iowans’ trust, and as governor, I’d do my darndest to do the same. If I can count on your support, will you please pitch in a few bucks to my campaign today?

One of the first things we need to do is repeal the law the partisans passed in 2023 gutting the State Auditor’s office. That’s an obvious one.

It’s the most blatantly pro-corruption law imaginable because — and this is not a joke — it allows for government agencies to hide documents from the Auditor’s office.

The law slows down audits, compromises investigations, and ultimately wastes taxpayer dollars while undercutting folks’ faith in state government.

Second, we need to do more to hold bad actors accountable. Public officials who abuse their elected office and the public’s trust should face consequences for their actions.

Next, we need to invest in government oversight. If we don’t put the necessary resources into funding our audit process, then we’re just spinning our wheels and wasting money. (And you know how I feel about wasting money.)

Finally, government agencies should understand the importance of efficiency, integrity, and public trust, and that they’ll be held accountable if they don’t play by the rules.

Together, we can make Iowa a place that works for all Iowans, and where state government truly is of the people, by the people, and for the people. Will you pitch in $25 today to help make that a reality?
