Wilson said he is running for the auditor position because of “recent reports of significant fraud in Minnesota’s safety-net programs and the gross mismanagement of large infrastructure projects,” according to his campaign website. Government transparency and accountability has had a “disturbing regression” in recent years, he added. Wilson blames ...
ESG has emerged as a new issue in the auditor’s race. It’s an idea that Blaha advocates for, but that Wilson opposes. It’s been termed by Republicans as “woke investing.” What is it about? ESG is a set of criteriaused to screen investments on corporate policies – such as climate change, social justice and equity – and encourage companies to act res...
Not usually a topic of discussion in the State Auditor’s race, education has emerged as an issue, perhaps due to Wilson’s platform prioritizing kids and students. Wilson said people he meets while campaigning across Minnesota often bring up schools. “Is the money making it to the schools, Ryan?” they ask him, he said in his opening statement at the...
Blaha:“Health and human services are a significant part of local government budgets, so we need an auditor who understands that healthcare includes abortion. An auditor pushing an anti-abortion agenda could disrupt local access to reproductive care, particularly for low-income Minnesotans. I’m proud of my history supporting abortion rights as a pre...
Blaha: “Minnesotans want to know that their tax dollars work for them. During my term, my office prevented over $549 million in budget errors through our audits, brought over $23 million in tax increment finance funds into compliance, found over $4 million in local government fraud, and increased our oversight of federal funds by $20 billion. Becau...
Blaha: “My family's farming history and my work interpreting Minnesota’s agricultural history at the Oliver H. Kelley Farm serves me well in my role on the Rural Finance Authority (RFA). The state auditor serves on this board to help oversee $368 million in assets to support farmers when they are just starting out or facing financial challenges. My...
Blaha: “While gun control doesn’t directly fall into the realm of state auditor, I’m proud that my office contributed to criminal justice reform in a larger sense by providing data that helped pass bipartisan reform of criminal asset forfeiture laws. By revealing how small forfeitures do little to decrease crime, but inflict disproportionate damage...
Blaha:“Because health and human services are a significant part of local government budgets, particularly at the county and city levels, the state auditor has a role in analyzing local healthcare spending. With good data, community members can make effective decisions about healthcare. In my program, The State of Mainstreet, I brought together neig...
Blaha: “Minnesota’s immigrants are essential to building vibrant communities and strong local economies. The state auditor needs to understand that value across the spectrum of her work. For instance, the state auditor serves on the board of Minnesota Housing, which invested $1.92 billion last year to improve housing for more than 93,000 households...
Blaha: “I work with the county auditors across the state who not only oversee local finances, but also administer our elections. I’ve seen first hand how diligently they work to conduct fair, complete, and accurate vote counts. In addition, the evidence is clear that Minnesota’s elections are well run, carefully checked, and worthy of our trust. I ...
