The2022 Minnesota State Auditor election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect thestate auditor of theU.S. state ofMinnesota. IncumbentDFLerJulie Blaha narrowly won re-election to a second term.
Blaha was challenged byRepublican candidate Ryan Wilson,Grassroot–Legalize Cannabis Party candidate Will Finn, andLegal Marijuana Now Party candidateTim Davis.[1]
This election was the second-closest for Minnesota State Auditor ever, after1934.[2]
In Minnesota, the state auditor is charged with supervising and auditing the finances of the state's approximately 4,800 local governments, which altogether tax and spend over $40 billion annually.[3] Likewise, the state auditor performs under contract the annualsingle audit of nearly $26 billion in federal funds spent by state agencies and their subrecipients.[4] The state auditor's authority transcends jurisdictions and applies to all local governments, be they counties, cities, towns, school districts, local pension funds, metropolitan and regional agencies, or myriad special purpose districts, and to every state agency that receives federal financial assistance.[5]
Since the elected constitutional office ofstate treasurer was eliminated in 2003, and despite the office's importance, the election for state auditor has been considered Minnesota's most "low-key" statewide race.[6] Auditor races are obscure enough to earn headlines when a "real issue" emerges.[7] Other analyses suggest that the auditor's office, which has lost half its staff since the 1990s, is Minnesota's "most overlooked and underfunded statewide office."[8]
In 2018,Julie Blaha, then secretary-treasurer of the MinnesotaAFL–CIO, was elected to replace retiring fellow DFLerRebecca Otto who unsuccessfully sought the DFLnomination for governor. As state auditor, Blaha was involved in uncovering and investigating a handful of public finance scandals, including an embezzlement scandal inCanton andWhalan and a conflict-of-interest case concerning the mayor ofTwo Harbors.[9][10] Auditor Blaha was also publicly critical of Minnesota'scivil asset forfeiture laws, arguing they were needlessly punitive for low-income suspects. She led a push to reform the laws which was ultimately successful in2021.[11]
The primary for State Auditor was uncontested.
Julie Blaha, incumbent State Auditor and former secretary-treasurer of the MinnesotaAFL–CIO, announced her intention to run for election in November 2021.[12] She won the Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party's endorsement unanimously at the party convention in May 2022.[13]
Ryan Wilson, an attorney and former founder and CEO of a Minnesota-based clinical trial auditing firm, announced his candidacy in February 2022.[14] Wilson, of Maple Grove, sought and received the endorsement of the Republican Party of Minnesota in May at the party's state convention.[15]
Kevin Finander, who appeared on ballots under the name Will Finn, was the nominee for theGrassroots–Legalize Cannabis Party. A self-describedLibertarian, Finander was the chair of the MinnesotaTaxation is Theft political action committee and a member of theSouth St. Paul library board.[16]
Longtime activist and Legal Marijuana Now Party chairmanTim Davis was his party's nominee in 2022. In an interview, Davis acknowledged that Auditor Blaha supported legalizing marijuana, but was committed to running nonetheless, arguing "[DFLers] haven't gotten anything done. We will be running. If we can get candidates, we will run.”[17]
Feeding Our Future, a now-dissolved Minnesota nonprofit, defrauded the state'sUSDA-funded school nutrition programs of at least $250 million over the course of theCOVID-19 pandemic.[19][20] On September 20, 2022, theU.S. AttorneyAndrew M. Luger announced federal charges against 47 former Feeding Our Future employees for their involvement in the nation's largest pandemic-related fraud scheme.[21] Republican nominee Ryan Wilson argued that DFL incumbent Auditor Julie Blaha could have minimized the fraud scheme's damage if her office had notified the federal authorities sooner of Feeding Our Future'sinternal control discrepancies.[22] Auditor Blaha contended that her office is primarily designed for auditing local governments in Minnesota and that her office had submitted a report to the Minnesota Department of Education which noted that Feeding Our Future had not complied with standard auditing practice.[23]
TheMinnesota State Auditor is a member of the State Board of Investment (SBI), which oversees the state's $130 billion investment portfolio.[7] As auditor, Julie Blaha had argued that the state should shift its investing strategies to meet so-calledenvironmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) guidelines.[7] Blaha had argued that the state is a "long-term investor" that must focus on the potential long-term impacts ofclimate change and social inequities to maintain a stable investment portfolio.[24] Wilson had argued that ESG investment is inherently political and that SBI should prioritizereturn on investment as a fiduciary over other public policy considerations, arguing Blaha was looking to "play politics" with state pensions.[24][25]
