Elect a City Auditor accountable to the citizens of Denver

Independent oversight, not politics

Experience, credentials and leadership

Transparency you can trust

Driving a better future for Denver citizens

Denver families work hard for their money and they deserve a city government that does the same.


I’m Kharis Eppstein and I’m running for City Auditor to ensure Denver’s independent watchdog keeps government effective, and that our tax dollars are spent wisely, transparently, and for the public good.


When waste or inefficiency shows up, my role as Auditor will be to shine a light and demand accountability.

Kharis Eppstein — Candidate Priorities

  • Keep a qualified, independent, apolitical, and ethical auditor in office.

  • Conduct effective audits that drive real change for Denver residents, businesses, and visitors.

  • Elevate the voice of the community and increase transparency and public trust in government.

  • Establish a fraud, waste, and abuse investigation team within the office.

  • Ensure that Denver Labor continues protecting workers and is fair, trusted, and accountable.

  • Educate companies about wage laws and support small business while ensuring compliance.

The City Auditor role answers to voters. Learn how your voice can make a difference.

The Auditor operates independently of the mayor's office and city council to provide an objective "watchdog" function.

The office performs financial and performance audits of city departments and agencies to evaluate effectiveness and efficiency, scrutinizing things like city contracts, technology systems, and program effectiveness.

The auditor is elected by the people and answers directly to them, not the mayor or the city council.

Experience, credentials and team leadership to be effective on Day One

I’m the experienced candidate with relevant certifications who has conducted award-winning audits for the City and County of Denver.

I’m positioned to lead the office from day one.

For over a decade, I’ve worked to make government more accountable and transparent. As Denver’s first woman Auditor, I’ll continue that work, ensuring our city’s watchdog effectively serves the people, not politics.
