Dennis Corrigan is our trusty Treasurer. He is meticulous and unwavering in both attention to detail and compliance with campaign finance laws. Dennis has been sought out, and continues to be sought out by numerous campaigns. (think transparency)

We recently added Bob Dwyer as Bristol County Chair. He is an extremely dedicated, hard-working individual and we are all pleased to have him join us.

We ALL Win With A Winning Team
Having a winning team matters in politics. This campaign promises to give something to every voter and taxpayer, regardless of political affiliation or ideology — without taking from others: Transparency and Accountability.
We are all used to hearing politicians claim to be working for us, but in reality nearly all of them work only for the benefit of special interests and “friends” who help ensure they get elected and re-elected. As Auditor, I will be making sure everyone is considered equally. No one is above the law, and no government department or agency is exempt from full transparency.
With no incumbent, this race will go to the winning team. With only one candidate who has a clear vision and message, that team can be Kamal Jain for Auditor…if we can get the word out. Early reactions from people show that they are excited about my vision of transparency, and believe the Auditor ought to be an Independent — no loyalties to any party or group, loyal only to the people.
To help get the word out to the voters so we can win in November, we need a winning team. Might you belong on our team? Perhaps you know someone who does. Let us know by emailing volunteer@kamaljain.com.
