Robert Sand (born August 12, 1982) is an American lawyer and politician who has served as the 33rd Iowa State Auditor since 2019.

[6] He made his first political donation to Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign, but missed the Iowa caucus because he was modeling menswear in Milan.

After Fallon lost the primary election, Sand became the campaign manager for Denise O'Brien, the Democratic Party's nominee for Iowa secretary of agriculture.

[15] Sand also prosecuted the Hot Lotto fraud scandal, in which seven lottery tickets across five states were rigged, with the amount totaling $25 million.

[18] Sand defeated Republican Mary Mosiman, the incumbent, in the general election[19] 51% to 46%, while Libertarian Fred Perryman received 3% of the vote.

[1] An audit conducted by Sand's office in 2020 found that Governor Kim Reynolds misspent $21 million from the CARES Act on unrelated state contracts rather than on managing the COVID-19 pandemic.

[29] Sand alleged Reynolds broke Iowa's law against self-promotion by appearing in a taxpayer-funded video to promote wearing a mask.

[30] In November 2021, Sand said Reynolds improperly used nearly $450,000 in federal coronavirus relief funds to pay salaries for 21 staff members for three months in the last year.

[37] Senate File 478, a bill that would restrict the powers of the State Auditor, passed the Iowa Legislature in April 2023 and was signed by Governor Kim Reynolds in June.

[40] Sand and his wife, Christine Lauridsen, met in Des Moines and married in Madison County on June 2, 2012.

[1] Sand wrote The Winning Ticket: Uncovering America's Biggest Lottery Scam, a book about the Hot Lotto scandal, with Reid Forgrave, a reporter for The Des Moines Register.
