Fiscally Conservative:
A noted conservative financial author and commentator, Schweich was one of the few to forecast the current fiscal crisis.  As your State Auditor, Tom will bring much needed conservative financial principles to our state government.

The Most Experienced Auditor:
Schweich oversaw internal investigations and audits for many of Missouri’s largest companies, and managed audits of hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at the U.S. State Department.  No other candidate has more experience finding and eliminating waste, fraud and abuse.

Real World Investigative Experience:
Tom served as a federal prosecutor and chief of staff of the Waco investigation – considered one of the best-run federal investigations in U.S. history.  A proven investigator, Schweich knows how to find and eliminate corruption in government.

Management Experience:
Managing 4,000 people in over 40 countries with a budget of more than $2.5 billion at the U.S. State Department, Schweich has proven that he will be an expert manager of the Auditor Office.  As a former U.S. Ambassador, he has further demonstrated leadership and management abilities.

Top International Law Enforcement Official:
Schweich served as one of the nation’s top international law enforcement officials fighting terrorism, corruption, money laundering, drugs and gangs.  Missouri needs a tough, independent Auditor, and Tom Schweich has proven his effectiveness around the world. He looks forward to using his law enforcement, audit, and investigative skills to benefit Missouri taxpayers.
