The role of the State Auditor is a management position. 

I began my management career working my way up on the line at Ford building pickup trucks and then oversaw 120 soldiers in the Minnesota Army National Guard. I managed 30 employees at my small business, and around 70 staff as the mayor of Tonka Bay. The next State Auditor must be ready to step in day one and manage 90 staff, and I have the management experience to be successful in this role.
