ARPA funds are a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make our Commonwealth stronger than it was before the pandemic; but that will only happen if we ensure these dollars are spent well. That includes addressing systemic problems in our society that COVID-19 brought into stark relief. As State Auditor, Chris will track and monitor this spending, make sure it reaches every community in the Commonwealth, and ensure that it leaves our Commonwealth stronger and more resilient.

While we came up short in this race, I am proud of what we have accomplished, building a grassroots campaign across the state with more than 2,400 individual contributors, a top-notch staff, the best fundraising and support team you could ask for, friends and family who always had my back, and hundreds of volunteers. I believe in a bright future for our Commonwealth and look forward to finding additional opportunities to contribute, hopefully by continuing to work side-by-side with so many of you.
