WHO IS NICHOLAS GRAETER?
Unveiling the Truth, Accessing the Future
Hello, I'm Nicholas Graeter, and I am running to be your next Auditor of Accounts.
As a fourth-generation Vermonter, my roots run deep in our state. I was born at Fletcher Allen Hospital (Now UVM Medical Center), raised in Colchester, and now live in Williston with my wife, a fifth-generation Vermonter, as we prepare to welcome our first baby girl. Finding out I was going to be a father was the spark that ignited my campaign; I simply cannot stand by and watch the affordability crisis continue to burden working-class families like ours. I want my daughter to inherit a Vermont free from these economic burdens.
My background is uniquely suited to the challenge ahead. I work in an accounting office, and I understand data, finances, and the need for fiscal rigor. Additionally, my experience in digital marketing taught me how to create content that resonates with millions. If elected, I will use these skills to bridge the gap between Montpelier and every voter. My goal is simple: broad transparency of our state government’s finances to create an educated voting class.
My platform is built on fiscal responsibility, transparency, and accessibility. I believe the first step in solving our state's biggest challenges, like the confusing education fund, is by making the facts of our current situation crystal clear.
I am not a career politician. I am a working-class Vermonter running for the future of working-class Vermont. Join me as we Unveil the Truth, Access the Future.
My Priorities as Auditor:
Optimizing Corrections Staffing:
Analyzing overtime data and payroll compliance to determine if current staffing strategies are cost-effective or if systemic changes are needed to save taxpayer money.
Investigating ACT 250:
Auditing the permitting process, specifically the time friction and cost quantification, to clearly showcase the regulatory hurdles preventing new development.
Ensuring Student Safety:
Auditing the Vermont School Safety Center to ensure our children are safe in their learning environments.
