Eugenia Crittenden Blackburn "Crit" Luallen is the current Auditor of Public Accounts for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. She was elected to that position in November 2003 and was re-elected by a wide margin in the 2007 Kentucky State Elections on 6 November 2007^[1].

Luallen is a native of Frankfort. She graduated from Frankfort High School before continuing on to study at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky. She has served the people of the Commonwealth of Kentucky since 1974, starting with her service in Gov. Wendell Ford's executive cabinet. She worked in various other state government positions, culminating in her election to Auditor in 2003 and re-election in 2007^[2].

Luallen was considered a top contender for the Democratic nomination to challenge Senator Mitch McConnell in the 2008 Election^[3] before announcing her decision not to run but instead to remain as Auditor.

Many in the Kentucky political community believe that she should change her slogan to "Crit'n with Crit", in reference to the role-playing game slang for a "critical hit" that has extra effect.^{[citation needed]}
