Milwaukee County Treasurer
I have been the Treasurer for almost 10 years. In that role, I have collected more than $90 million in delinquent taxes for Milwaukee County. I also have experience investing Milwaukee County's money, having earned $27 million in investment earnings in 2023 alone.
Prior to being elected Treasurer, I served as Chairman of the Milwaukee County Board Finance Committee where I helped craft the annual budget for Milwaukee County.
I am a graduate of UW-Madison and Marquette University Law School.
I will continue to actively engage with Milwaukee County taxpayers. As an attorney, I have used my legal skills to help negotiate more than 500 payment plans with delinquent property taxpayers in an effort to keep them in their homes and keep the property on the tax rolls.
I will also work with local municipalities and other departments within county government to identify abandoned and neglected properties and foreclose on them as quickly as possible within the guidelines of state law.
As Treasurer, my department has been one of the few departments in Milwaukee County that has generated revenue for Milwaukee County. I will use my experience to invest Milwaukee County's money wisely and prudently so that Milwaukee County policy makers have the resources to invest in our community.
I will also continue my work to modernize Milwaukee County's delinquent tax collection system and the accounts receivable software to make it more efficient and cost effective for taxpayers.
