Craig Miner to be nominated as state auditor.

by Kevin Rennie

Former state Senator Craig Miner will be nominated to serve as the state auditor reserved for a Republican. Miner will succeed Clark Chapin, who preceded Miner in the 30th Senate District.

Miner served in the House for 16 years before winning a seat in the Senate in 2016. He did not seek a third term in 2022. Miner earned a reputation for posing probing questions to legislators, administration officials, and others who came before legislative committees.

He has been working part-time for the Senate Republicans since his third term ended in January 2023.

The job of auditor is one of the legislative branch’s top paying positions and may provide a significant boost to Miner’s state pension.

Republican have a long, though not uninterrupted, history of nominating distinguished public servants to a position long considered free of partisanship. They include Leo Becker, Robert Jaekle and the late Bob Ward.
