Al Ozonoff is the Libertarian candidate for Massachusetts state auditor in the Nov. 3, 2026, election. He faces Democratic incumbent Diana DiZoglio, according to the official candidate list.
Background
Ozonoff is a researcher whose Boston Children’s Hospital profile identifies him as director of the Precision Vaccines Program’s Data Management Core and an associate professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. His work focuses on public-health surveillance, patient safety and health-care quality.
Independent oversight
His campaign statement emphasizes finding waste and inefficiency, maintaining independence from party loyalty, checking government power and making government answer to residents.
Ozonoff groups these priorities under the acronym FREE: fiscal accountability, real independence, ending government overreach and empowering citizens.
The statement reviewed does not identify specific agencies for an initial audit, a staffing or funding plan, a timetable or quantified savings. His research background provides professional context, but does not establish how much money his proposed oversight would save taxpayers.
Authority and local relevance
The state auditor’s office conducts audits, investigations and studies to improve accountability and government performance. It also examines public-benefit fraud and financial mandates affecting local governments.
Residents can use its findings to assess public programs and spending. Audit findings do not themselves change tax rates or authorize new spending; those decisions require action by the officials and bodies with the relevant legal powers.
The Andover Ledger did not receive a direct questionnaire response from the candidate and does not endorse candidates.
