TRANSPARENCY. EFFICIENCY. ACCOUNTABILITY. Those are the standards I’ve upheld as Ohio’s 51st Secretary of State, and together we’ve made Ohio a national leader in election administration and economic development. Now I have a plan to put those same priorities to work as our next Auditor of State. I’ll help state and local government offices across Ohio more openly and efficiently manage our tax dollars and hold them accountable when they don’t.
