“I want to ensure that Missouri’s tax dollars are working for the people — not political insiders and special interests.”
ST. LOUIS – Republican David Wasinger has filed paperwork with the state to begin his campaign for Missouri State Auditor.
“After the encouragement of my family and friends and leaders from around the State, I have am launching a campaign for Missouri State Auditor,” said Wasinger, a successful CPA and lawyer based in St. Louis. “With trust in government at an all time low, I think it’s important to have an Auditor focused on keeping government working for the people, and not the other way around. As a CPA and lawyer, I wasn’t afraid to take on the big Wall Street banks, expose their fraud against the American people and hold them accountable. We need someone in Jefferson City doing the same thing – holding politicians and government bureaucrats accountable to Missouri taxpayers. I look forward to visiting more with the great people of Missouri over the coming weeks and months.”
