“I am not going to go and count beans in the back room,” said DiZoglio. “The state auditor’s role is to stand up, speak truth to power, and hold the powerful accountable.”

DiZoglio, who is running for state auditor against former transportation advocate Chris Dempsey, is seeking to make the position seem relevant, interesting, and meaningful to primary voters.
