Community/Public Service Certified County Treasurer Level 1, Kansas County Treasurers Association
Before my bid for the county treasurers office, I was the general manager for several $100 million retail operations. I am no stranger to delivering on budget, and delivering results. I have also secured certification from the Kansas County Treasurer’s Association in June 2024.
Proper risk management should be the hallmark of any candidate seeking the nomination in a County Treasurers Office. Being good stewards of the taxpayers dollars, following state statute and county policies for investment guidelines of idle funds, executing proper controls guided by auditor recommendations and General Accepted Accounting Principles (G.A.A.P.) and common sense will be top of mind while managing risk.
Kansas County Treasurers are tasked with managing and operating the tag office as agents of the state. Over the past 17 years, the Kansas Department of Revenue in conjunction with state legislature, have shifted many job responsibilities and operational costs from the state to the county level, without adjusting the fee reimbursement schedule. If elected, I will continue to work with our legislature to be an advocate for the taxpayer; shifting fees collected by the state back to our counties where the work is being done so we may better serve the customer.
