The office of Salt Lake County Auditor has experienced unprecedented turnover in the last 20 years. No county auditor has made it a full two terms and most have served just one 4-year term or less! That is a big deal for both the oversight of the county as well as the internal dynamics of the auditor's office. This has resulted in high turnover, lack of consistency and auditing standards, and in some instances lowered moral.
Chris is already turning the office around after winning the special election. As your County Auditor, Chris is fighting to continue representing and protecting the citizens of Salt Lake County from fraud, waste, and abuse.
Chris will campaign and win the office of County Auditor in the General Election later this year, while simultaneously leading the office and providing oversight as County Auditor. Chris is committed to fighting and putting in the long hours of work necessary to keep this trusted position. This tenacity, passion, and expertise will be carried through not just one term, but many more.
