Republican Josh Gallion is leading Democrat Timothy Lamb in the North Dakota state auditor’s race, with Gallion holding a significant lead of 69.6% to 30.2% based on early results. Gallion, seeking re-election, expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him to oversee the state’s finances and government spending. He emphasized the importance of transparency and accessibility of audit reports to aid in decision-making processes. Gallion credited his team and supporters, including endorsements from Republican figures like Donald Trump and Sen. Kevin Cramer, for his success in the election.
On the other hand, Timothy Lamb, an attorney from Grand Forks, was seeking his first term in office but fell short against Gallion’s lead. The State Auditor’s Office plays a vital role in auditing state and local governments to ensure compliance with laws and proper use of taxpayer money. The salary for the state auditor position is $135,200 per year.
Gallion, who was seeking his third four-year term, had previously been elected in 2016 and reelected in 2020, showcasing his experience and continued support from voters. Despite Lamb’s unsuccessful bid for office, both candidates contributed to a competitive race that emphasized the importance of government accountability and financial transparency. The results of the race reflect the voters’ decision to re-elect Gallion to continue his role as the state auditor of North Dakota.
