Where they stand
Government accountability
Paraphrase of a linked source, not their words:
Centered his campaign on transparency and accountability in state government: expanding public access to auditor information online, requiring the office to publish an audit's description, purpose and scope when the work begins, and creating a "Rapid Response Audit" division modeled on a similar Missouri program to quickly investigate credible fraud allegations.

JobsOhio oversight
Paraphrase of a linked source, not their words:
Argued Auditor Yost had not been aggressive enough overseeing JobsOhio, the state's privatized economic-development nonprofit, and said the auditor had a constitutional duty to audit it fully before a change in state law limited that authority.
