Attorney General Ellison statement on Auditor Blaha’s announcement

“Auditor Julie Blaha and I were both elected to statewide constitutional office in 2018, and it has been a tremendous joy serving alongside her these past seven years. Auditor Blaha breathed new life into the Office of State Auditor, and has been a true champion for transparency, accountability, and local control since she was first elected. I am truly grateful for all she has done to serve the people of Minnesota and support local governments across our state.

“On a more personal note, anyone who knows Julie knows that her optimism and energy are contagious. Julie is always quick with a joke or a kind word, and her passion for Minnesota shines through in everything she does, from her advocacy for the needs of our municipal governments all the way to her fantastic crop art. We are fortunate that Julie has lent her talents to the Office of State Auditor for these past seven years. Thank you, Julie, for all you have done on behalf of Minnesotans everywhere.”
