Proven fiscal reformer,community leader,and public servant
Born in Selma, Alabama, Annette came to Ohio as a young child when her father sought better opportunities and she's been building on that foundation ever since.
When she became Mayor of Maple Heights, the city was in fiscal emergency.
She personally developed the recovery plan that restored financial stability, earning multiple Clean Audit Awards and financial credibility back.
As Auditor, I’ll take the same determination and fiscal discipline I applied to my private sector career and public service to the Ohio Auditor’s office because with costs rising the last thing we need is our tax dollars being wasted. But I can’t do it alone.
Her career bridges public service and the private sector, with roles at KeyBank, University Hospitals, and 16 years specializing in property tax at Deloitte and Ryan.
With a career defined by integrity, experience, and accountability, Annette Blackwell has spent a lifetime serving the public with honesty, sound judgment, and a commitment to doing what's right.
