Iowa State Auditor Rob Sand was in Knoxville Friday and he shared his purposes of his visit.

Sand tells KNIA/KRLS News, “What’s really crucial for Iowans is to understand is that this office is assertive about leadership. By assertive, I mean we’ve added jobs. We have law enforcement professionals working with our auditors to make sure our cases hold up in court, and that we aren’t about politics, we are about service.

Sand, a Democrat has served as Iowa’s State Auditor since 2019.
