Reece Smith completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Smith's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Since 2020, the Auditor General's Office has conducted about 20 audits of State departments, agencies, and funds. In that same time span they conducted over 12,000 audits in total. That means only 0.17% of their audits look at the State government. I want to change that.
- Since 2003, there were only 4 years where one Party controlled the governorship and both chambers of the state legislature. That means both parties are engaged in wasting and abusing our money, so we can't trust either of them to conduct genuine audits the expose corruption.
- Politicians regularly abuse their office funds for personal and campaign expenses. I want to Audit the Governor's office and the offices of the leaders in the legislature.
