Wyoming State Auditor Kristi Racines announces reelection bid

CHEYENNE (WNE) — Wyoming native Kristi Racines will announce her state auditor reelection bid in her hometown of Riverton this Saturday at the Fremont County Republican Party Convention.

As a certified public accountant with 20 years of experience, she brings critical expertise and proven conservative values to a job that is not just a politician, but the state of Wyoming’s chief accountant, she said in a news release. Racines added she intends to continue her high standard of excellence in financial accountability and transparency.

“I’ve kept all my campaign promises, but I believe we have more work to do — and that’s why I’m seeking reelection,” said Racines. “Many hardworking Wyoming families and businesses have had to tighten their belts these last several years, and it’s fair that they expect government to do the same. Over my tenure, I have trimmed the Auditor’s Office budget by finding efficiencies and eliminating redundancies, and I was proud this year to present the lowest Auditor’s Office budget since 2004.”

The Wyoming primary election will be held Aug. 18.
