JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The last Democratic statewide official in Missouri wrapped up her tenure as state auditor this week saying her work helped uncover hundreds of millions of dollars that were mismanaged, wasted or stolen.
Nicole Galloway, who has served in the watchdog post since 2015, said investigations undertaken by her office resulted in 81 criminal charges being brought against corrupt public officials.
"I've worked closely with law enforcement to bring those who break the public trust to justice," Galloway said as she prepares to hand the reins of the office to Republican Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick on Jan. 9. "Taxpayers deserve someone in government who is looking out for them, not politicians and special interests."
