DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Republican Mary Mosiman has been elected to her first full term as Iowa auditor. Voters Tuesday chose Mosiman, who was appointed to the position in 2013, over Democrat Jon Neiderbach. Gov. Terry Branstad appointed Mosiman after longtime Auditor David Vaudt resigned to become chairman of a national nonprofit accounting board. She was working as deputy secretary of state when she was appointed auditor.

In her campaign, Mosiman called for expanding an annual state budget analysis in 2016 to include money from more sources. She also wants to reduce fraud in government through education and more outreach to local officials.

Neiderbach, an attorney from Windsor Heights, sought more details for the public about government spending.
