2020 MO Governor's race: on Government Reform
Mike Parson:
Opposed subjecting lawmakers to open-records law
Q: Require more disclosure about the sources of campaign financing?Mike Parson: No. Opposed 2018's Constitutional Amendment One, which subjects lawmakers to open-records laws, limits lobbyist gifts, and limits partisan legislative redistricting.
Nicole Galloway: Yes. "As auditor, I've witnessed firsthand how our government works for insiders and special interests. That's why I'm making campaign finance reform a priority."

Mike Parson:
Voted for photo ID and proof of citizenship to vote
Q: Support stricter ID requirements and other rules on voting?Mike Parson: Yes. As state senator voted for constitutional amendment to require photo ID and prove citizenship. Signed bill allowing voting by mail only
if ballots are notarized, except if the voter is susceptible to COVID.
Nicole Galloway: No. "Missouri's notary requirement [to vote by mail] is voter suppression--especially during a pandemic. It makes voting absentee more difficult by design."

Nicole Galloway:
Agrees her office should undergo independent audit
Galloway was in agreement with Senate Majority Leader Caleb Rowden: an independent audit of Galloway's office should be put underway as soon as possible. Biannual audits of the auditor's office are required by state law.
Rowden said the most recent audit was in 2017, and because one did not happen last year--he said the House did not pass the legislation he had filed to do that--"this should have already happened."

Nicole Galloway:
Government should be totally transparent
We need to completely open up the system and make it totally transparent -- so you know exactly what's happening with your tax dollars. That's the only way we'll be able to take steps to make healthcare more affordable. To make sure every child in this
state, no matter what zip code they live in or how wealthy their family is, gets a great education. To help workers get the skills they need to compete for jobs in this changing economy. To have a government that respects your hard-earned money.
