Education/Experience
(1) Montgomery County Treasurer (2021-Pr.); (2) Member, Dayton Board of Education (2016-20); (3) Chief Deputy Court Clerk, Montgomery Co.; (4) Legislative Liaison, Tenn. Governor; (5) Staff Assistant, White House; (6) BA (U. Memphis); JD (U. Dayton)
The Montgomery County Treasurer is responsible for serving as the county's chief tax collector, banker, and investment officer. Gathering the resources necessary for government to operate is a critical role of the office. It is equally important that the Treasurer effectively pursue delinquent taxes across Montgomery County. Upon collection of tax revenue, it is vital that the Treasurer ensures that funds are protected and fully accounted for while in the county's treasury. Finally, the Treasurer is responsible for investing public funds on behalf of county residents.
I would be honored to be re-elected as Montgomery County Treasurer. Since taking office in 2021, the Treasurer's Office is on track to collect over $120 million in delinquent taxes, reversing a decades' long trend of increased delinquencies. Our Finance Division has earned tens of millions of dollars in investment income through strategic approaches, allowing for less spending out of the county general fund than without these earnings. Our office has increased taxpayer enrollment in PrePayment programs and digitized/streamlined more functions, saving taxpayers' money. I hope to earn your vote.
