Massachusetts Voters Consider Legislative Audit Proposal

Massachusetts voters are showing strong support for a ballot question that would allow State Auditor Diana DiZoglio to audit the Legislature, but legislative leaders argue it lacks constitutional authority and are considering changes or repeal if it passes. In North Carolina, incumbent auditor Jessica Holmes is facing challenges from a Republican and a Libertarian after her predecessor resigned following legal issues. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania's State Treasurer race features incumbent Republican Stacy Garrity against multiple challengers, with Garrity emphasizing government transparency and fiscal responsibility. In New Hampshire, a contentious Senate race pits Republican Timothy McGough against Democrat Shannon Chandley, with both candidates facing scrutiny over their financial records. Vermont's State Auditor race sees incumbent Doug Hoffer aiming for another term while stressing the importance of performance auditing in state operations. As election day approaches, these key races highlight the critical roles of state auditors and treasurers in managing taxpayer money and ensuring government accountability.
