Metro Residents, You deserve transparent and accountable government. That's why I am running for reelection. The Auditor's Office provides objective and independent information about Metro's programs and services. The performance audits I lead make recommendations to increase efficiency, effectiveness, and equity. RESPONSIVE TO THE PUBLIC Voters approved ballot measures for supportive housing services, park and natural areas, and the Oregon Zoo in recent years. As Metro Auditor, I have audited each of these programs to ensure they deliver the promises made to voters. Other recent audits focused on governance, equity, and ethics to respond to public concerns. The First Opportunity Target Area audit found out of date income limits reduced the number of people who could participate in the program. I also completed an audit that looked at public meetings, public records, lobbying, and contracts. Finally, two recent audits identified improvements to better manage ethics and conflicts of interest. EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE TO BE SUCCESSFUL I have a strong record of improving government. Over 18 years I completed performance audits of almost every aspect of Metro's operations including Portland'5 Centers for the Arts and Oregon Convention Center. I also audited internal functions like finance and information technology which are key to the success of all Metro programs. HOLDING GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE I center the public point of view. My goal is to show you what has been accomplished and where more work is needed. Being an advocate for the public improves services and increases accountability. As Metro Auditor, I will bring integrity, independence and continuous improvement to everything I do. Read audit reports at: https://www.oregonmetro.gov/audits
