Merrill Piepkorn: More transparency, accountability and trust in government

When asked how Republicans can win back trust after [two State Legislators were convicted of crimes], Armstrong said trust needs to continuously be built through actions. Without mentioning his name, Armstrong said it was a "worthy endeavor" to expel former U.S. Rep. George Santos, R-New York, after he was charged with misusing campaign funds.

Piepkorn said his election as governor would "automatically" lead to more transparency, accountability and trust in government. "With the supermajority in the Legislature, with 30 years of Republican governors--it's just led to an environment of entitlement," Piepkorn said. "There's probably more headlines right now in the Republican Party because there are five times as many of them as Dem-NPLers in state government."

He also said it's easy to point out differences, or faults, in a person with opposing viewpoints, but it's up to him and other elected leaders to look beyond that.
