Being your government watchdog is a badge I wear with honor. I'm proud to have uncovered record amounts of waste, fraud, and abuse as State Auditor, and I want to continue to put money back in your pocket as your governor.

What affects your family affects mine. Making your paycheck stretch further, supporting rural communities, and promoting good jobs across the state - that's my goal as governor.

My record speaks for itself. As auditor, I've held both parties responsible for playing politics with tax dollars & that doesn't change if I'm elected governor.

#DYK: I uncovered more waste, fraud, and abuse in a single term than any other State Auditor in Iowa history? That's not even counting the fact that we also built a government efficiency program to save even more dollars. Protecting your tax dollars is a no-brainer.
