## Resource

Missouri State Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick is seeking reelection in a surprisingly crowded race, facing off against a Republican rival, two Democrats, and a Libertarian—all vying for control of the state’s watchdog office. Fitzpatrick, a former business magnate and longtime public servant, brings a track record of fighting waste and fraud, while also taking strong stances on immigration and government spending. His Republican opponent, Gerald Wistrand Jr., promises accountability and citizen rights. On the Democratic side, veteran political strategist Quentin Wilson champions transparency, while business owner Gregory Upchurch focuses on spending oversight and public engagement. Completing the field is Dustin Coffell, Libertarian Party chair, who advocates for tax cuts and user-fee funding. With no clear frontrunner, voters are weighing competing visions for Missouri’s financial watchdog. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
