| Why are you running for this office? |
 |
| |
I bring balance, vision and leadership to state government, as well as 28 years' experience in public financial management. I've called for an Alliance for Accountability to get government listening to citizens, expanded rights and protections of whistle-blowers, and I'm working to strengthen open-public-meetings and public-records laws. |
