Early voting is easy! Today, Emily and I had the opportunity to go vote for excellent candidates up and down the ballot. It was especially significant to be able to vote at Duluth City Hall, where I served as a city councilor for 8 years. Go to mnvotes.org to find your voting location!

From our early days on the campaign until now, just a week before the election, young people have been so important to our campaign. Thank you to all those on college campuses who have welcomed us for door knocks and game nights. Relationships matter!

Trump - Endorsed Jensen Declines MPR Debate “Jensen owes Minnesotans an explanation on why he is turning his back on this debate. His recent concerning comments on auditing the weather and his endorsement by Donald Trump deserve a conversation.”

“The Office of the State Auditor is here to protect local governments,” Filipovich said.  “Something as simple as making sure there are enough reserve dollars in local governments can help save money,” he said.

I am honored to have earned the endorsements of Former Governor Arne Carlson (GOP) and Former Governor Mark Dayton (DFL). Both served as Minnesota State Auditor before becoming Governor, and having their support means a great deal to me. Thank you, Governor Carlson and Governor Dayton!

“We need leadership that understands the numbers, understands local governments and knows how to get the job done. That is the kind of state auditor I intend to be" From—DFL state auditor candidate: Minnesota cannot afford more chaos (linked in the comments)

It was great to spend some time in Minneapolis today for the No Kings: Vote Early event! This was an event aimed at encouraging participation from all eligible voters. Great to visit with so many Minnesotans excited to exercise their voting power. Make a plan to vote! ZackforMN.com

Today we honor Minnesota’s Indigenous communities and rich cultures, history, and contributions to Minnesota. The DFL remains committed to respecting Tribal sovereignty and working in true partnership to strengthen Minnesota Tribal Nations and Native communities every day.

We are going to restore public trust by strengthening internal controls in local government jurisdictions across the state. And we are going to do things the right way. This is not going to be an office run by Artificial Intelligence (AI), but by real people with the expertise to do this work.

Plymouth on Parade! Just one of over 30+ parades we’ve walked in since June. As your next state auditor, I will fight for increased transparency. Part of that is showing up across the state—in forums and open houses—providing the background behind the data. Parade season is just the beginning!

I was recently able to do a recording for Town Square Television’s Meet the Candidates program. Take a look! “This is a serious position. It oversees $56 billion dollars of local government spending and taxes.” Learn more at ZackforMN.com #minnesota #candidateforstateauditor #vote

We can’t solve any problems in our communities if we are not listening. It was an honor to join the Carver County Community Listening Session. Thank you to all of the community members who participated. YOU are the ones who keep our state moving forward, one community at a time. ZackforMN.com

I am so incredibly honored and grateful to the hundreds of individuals who have invested in our campaign. At a time when finances are tight for so many, I cannot tell you how much that means to me. For every $100 we raise we can reach 3,000 more people with our message. Donate at ZackforMN.com

What does the state auditor have to do with road construction? Local tax dollars! The state auditor is making sure your local tax dollars are going to fund projects like new sidewalks and road repairs and not into some fraudster’s pocket. ZackforMN.com #constructionseason #localmatters #vote

I love every opportunity to connect with our young voters across Minnesota. Grateful to spend time with Northfield College Dems this past weekend. This is our future and they are energized, excited, and ready to make positive changes in their communities! ZackforMN.com #minnesota #vote

“And because 75% of certified public accountants or CPAs are of retirement age and will be retiring over the next few years that story [no one to fill important local finance roles] is going to be accelerated and repeated even more.” ZackforMN.com #minnesota #localmatters #vote #election2026

We had a great time at the Mankato Homecoming Parade with the theme of “Level Up”yesterday. It is always so rewarding to engage with and listen to community members across our state. YOU are our “power up” moments every day! Thank you! ZackforMN.com #levelup #powerup #vote

Do you want a state auditor who knows the role? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. “We’ve all had bosses that might not know what our day-to-day job is. And hopefully we’ve had bosses that have had our job. I’ll take the person who has done my job every time.” ZackforMN.com

This campaign has championed the idea of drawing the circle bigger-every person matters. I will fight to protect the tax dollars closest to you. As the only accountant and only candidate to have worked in a government finance office in this race, I have the skillset to do just that. ZackforMN.com

Door-knocks and picnics! Two of my favorite ways to connect with community members across the state. This is so much more than showing up—it is listening to the challenges and successes you are experiencing and sharing how the state auditor can be a resource and a support for your community.

Today, we visited New Richland, MN - a town that has just experienced profound flooding. It will take years for this community to fully recover from this disaster. My heart goes out to our New Richland neighbors and I want you to know that I stand with you.
