Hello,

My name is _________, and I live in _________ .

I’m reaching out to urge you to protect the Congressional watchdog, GAO. This week, Senator Paul initiated a rushed process to select a new Comptroller General. The Comptroller General serves a 15-year term—the longest non-lifetime appointment in the federal government. It’s critical that the bicameral, bipartisan Commission charged with selecting candidates for the role take its time to select the right person. The Commission has not yet formally met or interviewed candidates. This type of sham process is no way to select such a critical role central to congressional oversight of the executive.

Senators on both sides of the aisle need a fair umpire who can call balls and strikes over the next 15 years. Please hold firm and oppose this rushed process.

Thank you for your time.
