Why Dave Boliek for Auditor?
As a former prosecutor, Dave has the expertise to find and root out government corruption. Dave is the most experienced candidate. He is the only candidate who has run a small business. As Chairman of the UNC Board of Trustees Dave created the university’s first Audit Committee, balanced the budget, and eliminated the university’s operating deficit for the first time in years.
While board chairman, Dave led the fight at UNC to eliminate woke diversity and equity policies and create a new School of Civic Life and Leadership to help bring ideological balance to the notoriously liberal campus.
Dave is a committed Christian who serves as an elder in his church. He’s an Eagle Scout and a former youth sports coach. He and his wife of 30 years, Haden, are the proud parents of 4 children.
