Hello, I'm Pat Dean and I am the candidate endorsed by the Independence Party of Minnesota to run for office of the Minnesota State Auditor, a position that oversees $20 Billion in Local Government spending.

Why me?

 I understand the job and the political  landscape better than most. I don't scare easily. And I am not confused between right and wrong...not even when I had to pay a steep personal price which my wife and I (God bless her strength and support) have paid and then some.

Those are not empty words so let me paint you the full picture. 

I worked for the St. Paul Port Authority for over 19 years. I managed the for-profit business for the St. Paul Port Authority; altogether $30 million in sales and 400 employees.  

During my time as the Vice President at the St. Paul Port Authority, I found numerous transactions that were diversions of pledged funds. What does this mean? Well, it's sort of like borrowing money from a friend to get your business going -- and promising to pay him back -- but then ignoring your promise and spending the money on other priorities.

I brought this issue to the attention of the Board of Directors, and was terminated for not following the Board's wishes to look the other way. Doing the right thing cost me a job I loved and my retirement benefits from nearly two decades of work. Not one to give up easily, I took all this information to the State Auditor's office to report this wrongdoing and to request an investigation. No luck their either. 

It's all in the public domain if you care to look. Here's a link: Google: St. Paul Port Authority 876 Bonds.



Can I make a difference?

Yes, I already have. And I'm running so I can make an even bigger difference. 

With your help, people like me can be quite the nightmare for those folks who use their government position --elected or appointed -- for personal gain.

If we -- that's you and I -- don't try to make a difference then we have no choice but to watch a corrupt and broken system get bigger and more broken and more corrupt. 

Well, it's not in me to stand aside and do nothing. It's not how I was raised. 

And so that's why I'm here -- with no allegiance to either the Democrats or Republicans -- gloves on and ready to give the system a much-needed makeover!  

Can you make a difference?

More than you can imagine. 

Please help me fund my election campaign here at Indiegogo. Please volunteer your talents and your enthusiasm. Please tell your friends about me and this campaign. Please spread the word through Facebook and Twitter

I'll leave you with this thought:

If you have it in you to think of what ought to be, then you have it in you to to help make it happen. 

Thank you,

Patrick E. Dean
