Notable Quote

As an employee of a small city (pop. < 3K) the difference between Auditor Anderson and Auditor Otto has been amazing. Anderson used every chance she could to embarrass local officials when they made what were nearly always honest mistakes. You had city clerks afraid to call the auditor's office to ask questions for fear they would be put under a microscope. With Auditor Otto, the staff works with local governments to ensure they are conducting themselves in accordance with state statutes. They try to stop problems before they arise, not wait in ambush in order to issue a press release later.

Rebecca Otto for Auditor on Facebook

Thank you Minnesota!

I want to thank Minnesotans for their renewed support of my leadership as Minnesota State Auditor, and my vision of making Minnesota a national leader again in excellent and efficient government.

I am particularly honored by this decisive victory as a Democrat in the strongest Republican year in seven decades, in a race against a former Republican incumbent, with no Independence Party candidate splitting the Republican vote, and with two minor party candidates taking votes on the left.

What this says is that Minnesotans still value excellence, and they don't want leaders who simply bash government - they want leaders who get the job done and work to make government better again, and that's exactly what I intend to do.

I am deeply honored by your support.

Sincerely,

State Auditor Rebecca Otto
