We need to know the local dollars paying for teachers, public works, and safety and fire departments will be there when we need them. As a Certified Management Accountant, Zack knows what it takes to hold people and organizations accountable. That starts with building staff capacity, relationships with local governments, and identifying new guardrails where needed to protect against fraud.

Zack is running so our local governments have the tools, data, and training they need to make the best decisions for their communities. He will work to improve resource sharing, address the critical shortage of finance professionals in greater Minnesota, and build on how the office provides data and guidance.

Zack is committed to providing the background behind the data by holding open houses and forums to ensure transparency at every step. He is the only candidate with the accounting, local government, and management experience to lead from day one and restore public trust. That is more than publishing reports. Zack will strengthen relationships with communities and provide opportunities for citizens to be heard while ensuring taxpayers have the information they need to understand and hold their government accountable.
