Audacity, Auditing & Accountability: Tiffany Boozer for SC
South Carolina's Comptroller General office has a financial mismanagement problem — and Tiffany Boozer, CPA and auditor, is running to fix it. Barrett Gruber sits down with Boozer for a detailed, substantive conversation about what the Comptroller General actually does, why professional experience in accounting matters more than most voters realize, and what it means to run for office with the audacity to say exactly what you think.
Tiffany opens with her professional background — years in public accounting and auditing that gave her a ground-level understanding of how financial systems succeed and fail. The moment she decided to run came from a clear-eyed assessment of the Comptroller General's office and the gap between what it is and what it should be. As she puts it with characteristic directness: "you should trust me because you don't have many options."
The conversation gets into the mechanics of the office in ways that most political interviews never do. Tiffany breaks down the difference between government and corporate accounting, why modernization of South Carolina's financial systems is long overdue, and how past financial mismanagement — including large-scale errors that made headlines — could have been caught earlier with the right oversight structure and the right person in the chair. The case for a CPA in this role isn't ideological; it's practical.
Community involvement threads through the entire episode. Tiffany's work building networks through the Blacklist Network reflects the same philosophy that drives her campaign — show up, do the work, and earn trust through action rather than promises. Her personal resilience and the family and community support behind her campaign close the episode on a note that is both grounded and genuinely moving.
"Operate in audacity for 2026" isn't just a soundbite. It's a governing philosophy.
