From Joseph Miklovic: Comptroller job is not flashy...
Common sense reasons to vote for Baringer for Comptroller
The job of Comptroller isn’t flashy. It’s not about press conferences or parades. It’s about making sure city contractors get paid, taxpayer dollars are accounted for, and City Hall runs like it should.
And right now? It’s not. Because the books don’t balance themselves - Because the ledger doesn’t lie.
The current Comptroller has held the office for thirty years. But in recent times, we’ve seen what happens when presence turns to absence, when City contractors go Unpaid, when software upgrades go $6 million over budget, and when conflict-of-interest policies are more of a suggestion than a standard.
Enter Donna Baringer.
She’s not here to play politics—she’s here to clean up the politics. To bring transparency, accountability, and real leadership back to the office. She’s pledged something so simple it shouldn’t even have to be said: “I will actually show up for work.”.
St. Louis deserves a Comptroller who shows up.
Not one who sends for city paperwork… to be delivered to her home.
A seasoned alderwoman. A dedicated state representative. And, most importantly, a public servant who shows up.
Donna Baringer brings 30 years of real results—as alderwoman and state rep.
She’s committed to transparency, ethics, and getting the job done.
No drama. No excuses. Just accountability.
She’ll actually show up.
She’ll clean up the mess.
She’ll work for you.
Vote Donna Baringer.
She knows that public service means being present, being ethical, and being efficient. If that’s being a "professional politician"—as her opponent suggests—then thank God we’ve got one who takes the job seriously.
Donna Baringer is ready - Because the ledger doesn’t lie.
And the city deserves nothing less.
