Expand all | Collapse all

I am Alan Green and I am the Democratic nominee to be Missouri’s next State Auditor.

I am the most qualified candidate, by far, who is running for this office. I have five (5) degrees including a PHD, and two masters. I have run a state agency, served as an advisor to a governor, served as an advisor to two County Executives, I am former police officer (5 years), a business owner, minister, and a CFO. I also served seven (7) years as a Missouri State Representative. I am ready and prepared to serve.

I have a plan to maintain and improve the Auditor’s office by making it a bigger and better watchdog by: · Enhance the State’s whistle blower program · Make sure the office reflects every area of the state · Do a better job of promoting the office by visiting each county in the state · Make sure that tax and public dollars are spent on designated programs The facts are clear, I have been and will always be on the right side of important issues, regardless of what office I’ve held. Missouri deserves an independent watchdog for Auditor, I, Alan Green, am that person.

I have always been a fiscal watchdog. We must find the necessary funds to retain and attract good quality workers for the State of Missouri. Nationally, Missouri ranks near the bottom in pay for state employees, teachers and so many categories. We can and must do better.

Campaign website

Green’s campaign website stated the following:

Be a watchdog and aggressively identify where valuable taxpayer dollars can be saved.

I will make sure we create an environment that welcomes new ideas and innovation. I will partner with the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and others to work on cutting-edge cybersecurity programs, to make sure Missouri has one of the most advanced cyber defenses in the country.

I’m committed to identifying waste and fraud in our government so that we can spend taxpayer dollars on programs that really make a difference for the people of Missouri. For example, I’ll be watching for opportunities where we can save money by improving our online services.

My number one priority will be to fight for you in the state capitol, to implement new ideas and approaches that save taxpayer dollars, and to hold government officials accountable.


Retain existing staff.

I am committed to assembling and retaining a dedicated team of professionals who are willing to take on and tackle the difficult tasks that come with this position. I believe that Missouri needs to have a team that is knowledgeable, well versed, proficient on the issues, and will work hard to protect our valuable tax dollars. Maintaining the right staff will be crucial to watching and protecting Missourian’s dollars.


Attract the most qualified staff possible who will represent all corners of Missouri.

Throughout Missouri, there are many qualified candidates who may have an interest in serving in the Auditor’s office. I believe that we are best served if my staff reflects the many qualified people of this state who want to serve in public service.


Be independent and place the interest of the people of Missouri first.

I will make sure that Missourians are properly informed and that they know their government is working for them. As Missouri’s elected Auditor, I will stand up to powerful interests and make sure the taxpayers’ money is being spent wisely.


Find ways to save money so those funds can be used to improve government.

I will audit the state government and identify areas of inefficiency, opportunities for improving services and reducing cost, identify duplication and waste, with an aim of saving or reallocating state resources.

It is my goal to protect and save valuable tax dollars so that the funds may go back into the community. I believe that with a platform such as this, we will be able to save money while also ensuring accountability and transparency in government


Educate the general public on the functions of the office and encourage them to engage the office.

As Missouri’s Auditor, I will educate the public on the functions of the office by:

  • Regularly visiting all corners of the state to meet with Missourians
  • Communicating what we do and what can be audited
  • Encouraging people to contact us about their concerns by establishing by making the office more visible by visiting all areas regularly
  • Fighting for issues most important to Missourians
  • Focusing on transparency, accountability, and efficiency in operations.

I have a diverse background working in both the public and private sectors. My public sector experience includes being a police officer working with the public closely to reduce and prevent crime. Holding policy and executive administrative positions allowed me to improve government efficiencies and be a legislator who crafted laws intended to improve the quality of life for Missourians. And working in the financial sector as a business owner helping others to succeed. I promise you, as Auditor, every day I will strive for greater transparency and to fight to protect our valuable public dollars by employing all of my lessons and experiences.[8]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Missouri

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
