In public life, there’s a real difference between people who just hold elected office and those who truly serve. State Auditor Diana DiZoglio falls into that second category. She’s clearly focused on doing the job voters elected her to do—making sure government is accountable, transparent, and actually working for the people.
But that hasn’t been easy. Her push to audit the State Legislature—something voters have supported—has run into resistance from others in the political system. And that gets at a bigger problem: when leaders ignore what people voted for, trust starts to break down. It’s hard to have faith in government when basic accountability is treated like a threat instead of a responsibility.
This isn’t just about one audit or one person. It’s about whether we, as citizens, expect our government to live up to its promises. Voting matters, but it’s not the end of the story. Staying involved—paying attention, speaking up, and supporting leaders who are trying to do the right thing—is just as important.
Right now, that means backing elected officials like Auditor DiZoglio who are pushing for more transparency. Whether it’s making calls, talking with others, or showing up to events, staying engaged sends a message that people are paying attention. At the end of the day, government is supposed to work for us—and it’s up to us to make sure it does.
