This week, Vermont Edition brings you election debates for three statewide offices. On Thursday, the leading candidates for state auditor meet in a live, face-to-face debate.
The auditor is charged with being a watchdog of state government. The mission of the office is to "foster the prevention of waste, fraud and abuse."
The office is responsible for evaluating whether state agencies are fulfilling their missions, and overseeing financial audits that track where taxpayers' dollars are going.
Republican Dan Feliciano and the incumbent, Democrat/Progressive Doug Hoffer will debate each other over the issues, their qualifications and their competing visions for the office.

The debate is broadcast live on Thursday, October 27, 2016 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
