Longtime Vermont state Senator Vincent Illuzzi says he’ll rely on relationships with state officials and knowledge of state government to do an effective job if elected Vermont auditor of accounts.
Illuzzi, a Republican who has represented Orleans and Essex counties in the Senate, kicked off his campaign Wednesday at the Barre Granite Museum, which is housed in the building where his father worked as a granite sculptor.
Illuzzi said he would focus on the use of state funds — and determine whether they were spent as directed by the Legislature, were used efficiently and effectively, and served the people they were intended to serve.
Illuzzi faces Burlington Democrat Doug Hoffer in the race for auditor.
