BOSTON – Senator Diana DiZoglio has been endorsed by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Council 93 for State Auditor, citing her commitment to using the full powers of the Auditor's Office to protect our tax dollars.
“In her decade of public service in the legislature, Diana DiZoglio has been fearless in standing up to powerful interests on behalf of Massachusetts taxpayers,” said AFSCME Council 93 Executive Director Mark Bernard. “She is a champion for working families and a leader in the fight for greater accountability and transparency in government. We know that she will bring a singular commitment to using the full powers of the Auditor’s office to shine a much-needed light on the billions of state dollars that go unchecked to private human service providers.”
AFSCME Council 93 represents more than 45,000 state, county and municipal employees in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.

DiZoglio. “I’m so honored to receive the endorsement of AFSCME Council 93 in the race for State Auditor. Their public service inspires me every day, and it’s why I got in this fight: to ensure a more accountable, transparent state government that sees, hears and includes working families like ours.
