The Levin Center has joined a bipartisan group of organizations in endorsing Principles for Evaluating Nominees for Comptroller General of the United States, a joint statement outlining key qualifications for the next leader of the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO). The letter emphasizes the importance of integrity, independence, oversight expertise, and strong organizational leadership for the Comptroller General, who serves a 15-year term safeguarding Congress’s power of the purse and strengthening government accountability.
The statement calls for a rigorous, bipartisan selection process and underscores the need for a nominee committed to nonpartisan, fact-based oversight and modernization of GAO’s work. The Levin Center is proud to stand with fellow endorsing organizations in supporting clear, durable standards that reinforce GAO’s vital role in promoting accountability and good governance.
