Rob Sand

State Auditor Rob Sand said he will audit the Des Moines school district because he received a qualifying request from someone in the district. The special audit follows the arrest of former Superintendent Ian Roberts for immigration and gun violations.

Rob Sand hosted a town hall Wednesday in Waukee, where he touted his distaste for partisan politics and distanced himself from party labels. The event kicked off his 100 Town Hall Tour as part of his campaign for governor in 2026.
