State Auditor-elect Taylor Wettach, a Democrat from Muscatine, says maintaining the independence of the office is his primary responsibility

State Auditor-elect Taylor Wettach, a Democrat from Muscatine, says maintaining the independence of the office is his primary responsibility. He’s also considering ways the auditor’s office could make all government spending more transparent. “So folks know where their hard-earned tax dollars are going and working with folks of either party or no party to continue that sort of focus,” he said. Wettach, a 35-year-old attorney, previously worked at a major New York City law firm where he reviewed and negotiated complex financial deals. Wettach says he’s looking forward to working with the accountants, auditors and Certified Fraud Examiners in the state auditor’s office. Wettach says he will continue many of the initiatives current State Auditor Rob Sand started, like allowing staff to live outside of central Iowa since audits are done throughout the state, as well as continuing the program that recognizes local Iowa governments for efficiency efforts. Wettach says part of his job will be ensuring the non-partisan staff can do their job effectively and that means more resources. “They’re career auditors. They’re career civil servants that are experts in what they do, that have been working in that office for years and years and years and are in that office because they believe in the public service of it,” Wettach said. “They’d get paid more if they worked in the private sector. They’re there because they’re true public servants.” Wettach’s term starts January 1. Wettach defeated Republican Chris Cournoyer in last week’s election by about 6,500 votes.
