Issue Position: Government Efficiency and Accountability

Issue Position

I believe we must work diligently for greater transparency and accountability for our state. Taxpayers deserve to know how every dollar is being spent. I will continue working for reforms to the budget process to ensure transparency for how tax dollars are being spent, consolidating government services to avoid costly duplication, and budgets based on priorities and performance.

This past session, I updated our legislative standing rules to create a stronger environment for reporting incidents of harassment and other unethical behavior between legislators, staff and lobbyists. I also fought to make sure legislator expense reports include more transparency by requiring that cash-on-hand be disclosed and that expenses are reported in a more clear manner.
