Dave Boliek

More than a year into his term, North Carolina State Auditor Dave Boliek says he’s working to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse in state government. New laws have expanded the auditor’s investigative powers and even given the office a role in shaping election oversight. Boliek joins to discuss his approach to accountability, his growing authority and what it could mean for transparency and governance in North Carolina.

North Carolina’s new state auditor and labor commissioner are ending their agencies’ diversity, equity and inclusion practices. The two Republicans are following the lead of President Trump, who banned DEI initiatives in the federal workforce this week.
