Rob Sand is Iowa\\u2019s State Auditor, which is the taxpayers\\u2019 watchdog in the state. He\\u2019s the first Democrat to beat an incumbent Republican in Iowa in 50 years. We discuss putting public service above politics, delivering good governance, and how to get stuff done even when you are part of a political minority.\\xa0

\\xa0

The auditor\\u2019s job is to promote transparency, uncover wrongdoing, and report their findings to the public. Their work is key in holding powerful people in positions of trust accountable. Questions about whether government should be smaller or bigger miss the mark because the goal is to have better government that meets people where they are. Good governance is the bedrock of a self-governing society.\\xa0
