Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann released the following statement in response to Rob Sand announcing his campaign for State Auditor:

"Rob Sand has spent his time as State Auditor weaponizing the office and using it as a means to attack his political enemies. His antics are simply desperate attempts to gain media notoriety. Iowans want a State Auditor who is serious, focused on ensuring their tax dollars are spent properly and being a watchdog over their pocketbooks. Rob Sand only cares about how many times his cheap and misleading attacks are retweeted."
