Campaign website

Caballero-Roca’s campaign website stated the following:

“	Goals My name is Gloria Caballero Roca. I am running to change the nature of the office of State Auditor - to transform it from just another cog in the Beacon Hill machinery to an office that makes a real difference in people’s lives. I’ve looked at the most recent 186 audits conducted by the State Auditor over the past four years and found that they have mostly focused on administrative procedures and bookkeeping practices and timely filing of annual reports. They have sidestepped the most important questions of all: Are state programs making a difference in people’s lives? Are housing programs actually securing housing for people? Are economic assistance programs keeping families afloat? Are anti-discrimination programs actually eliminating discrimination? Are climate protection programs actually impacting the climate crisis? We deserve a State Auditor with common sense, integrity, and genuine empathy for the struggles of the people in the Commonwealth: I will be accountable to all the residents of Massachusetts, not to the insiders who dominate Beacon Hill. I will ensure that state agencies and expenditures serve the public’s interest rather than further enriching wealthy well-connected private interests. I will be an independent watchdog for the people, not beholden to the two corporate-funded parties, an Auditor for the rest of us! I will radically change the focus of the State Auditor to hold state agencies accountable for producing bottom-line results for the people. I will be the Commonwealth’s first Equity Auditor. I will look at agencies from the point of view of the people and not the bureaucracy. I will ask if people are finding our state agencies to be accessible, open, transparent, and effective. Have agencies effectively removed the barriers to access that are being encountered by low income people, working parents, and non-English speaking households? Such audits have not been of interest to the Auditor’s office up to now, but I will make them a priority. As Equity Auditor I will examine whether taxpayer money is being wasted by funding programs whose effects cancel each other. For example, we have programs that are intended to reduce fossil fuel use. At the same time we have programs that encourage more driving, construction of inefficient buildings, and unsustainable development. I will examine the contradictions in our investments and encourage state government to achieve efficiency by eliminating inconsistencies. As Equity Auditor, I will take measures to put the Auditor’s office under the direction of the people, and not the Beacon Hill bureaucracy. As one step toward this goal, I will create a Citizens Audit Council that will let the people launch investigations of the state bureaucracy when they sense problems. I want to make it impossible for inefficient or corrupt agencies to protect themselves by using their political connections to avoid audits. I feel it is important that a watchdog office like State Auditor be independent of the two establishment parties on Beacon Hill who created the programs that need to be audited. I don’t think the investigations I see as necessary will ever be made by someone who is a loyal team member of one of the big political parties. That’s why I’m running under the Green-Rainbow label and remaining independent of the Beacon Hill machinery. If you want a different kind of auditor, one that can make a difference for people, please vote for me, Gloria Caballero Roca, on November 8. Thank you.	”
