Diana DiZoglio has played a pivotal role in public service throughout her career, serving as an advocate, legislator, and now, Auditor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In her role, DiZoglio is committed to increasing transparency and accountability in state government, ensuring that all residents receive equitable treatment, regardless of their background, financial status, or zip code. Her work as Auditor underscores her dedication to fostering a fair and inclusive government for all. Being born and raised in Methuen, MA, Auditor DiZoglio is a product of Massachusetts public schools. After graduating from Methuen High School, DiZoglio attended Middlesex Community College before earning a financial scholarship to Wellesley College. Her career in public service began as an aide in the State Legislature and as Chief of Staff for the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts. After years of working with local nonprofits and community organizations, she successfully ran for public office in 2012, serving three terms as State Representative for the 14th Essex District. In 2018, she was elected State Senator for the 1st Essex District, where she served two terms. DiZoglio's decade-long service on Beacon Hill has equipped her with the fortitude to collaborate with elected officials, labor organizations, community advocates, and residents across the Commonwealth. Her humble beginnings and extensive experience in nonprofits and labor have enabled her to build strong relationships with a diverse array of people, amplifying their voices in government. Throughout her career, DiZoglio has remained driven by a profound commitment to equity and public service. In a recent CommonWealth Beacon article, DiZoglio stated, “These are gaps in the system that we can help to identify. We can raise that to legislators. We can let them know about where these challenges exist for the purposes of improving the system and helping the Legislature to work better for those it’s meant to serve.” Through her work as Auditor, she is dedicated to creating a more inclusive and accountable government for all. Prior to recording this episode, Auditor DiZoglio embarked (and completed) a 141-mile walk across Massachusetts to raise awareness for ballot Question 1, which would give the state auditor the authority to audit the Legislature. In August, DiZoglio told The Boston Globe, “Government is not supposed to operate the way the Massachusetts Legislature is operating right now.” If passed, the state auditor would be given the express authorization to audit the Massachusetts Legislature. In this episode, we’ll discuss her journey to this point, her walk across the Commonwealth, and take a deep dive into the importance of Question 1.
