Where Filipovich stands
Filipovich, a certified management accountant, finance manager and former Duluth City Council member, says he has more than a decade of experience managing budgets and strengthening internal controls.

Where Jensen stands
Jensen, a physician who founded Catalyst Medical Clinic and served in the Minnesota Senate, has framed his campaign around fighting waste, fraud and abuse. He has said he would build a team of financial experts, forensic investigators and AI specialists, push to reduce unfunded mandates on local governments and protect whistleblowers.
The state auditor oversees the finances of counties, cities, school districts and other local governments. The winner will begin a four-year term in January. All results are unofficial until they are certified by the State Canvassing Board.
