Dave is running for Mesa County Treasurer because he believes that the management of public funds demands more than just administrative efficiency—it requires a deep-seated commitment to the integrity, transparency, and the long-term well-being of the Mesa County community.

Throughout his career, Dave has built a reputation for key professional strengths, such as  meticulous attention to detail, sound financial judgment, and a collaborative leadership style. He understands that the Treasurer’s office is not just about collecting and disbursing taxes—it is about acting as a faithful steward of the community's resources.

Dave believes that the residents of Mesa County deserve a Treasurer who treats their tax dollars with the same care they would use for their own personal finances. His vision for the office is built on three central pillars:

• Fiscal Transparency: Providing residents with a clear, understandable view of how their property taxes are collected and distributed.

• Accessible Stewardship: Ensuring the Treasurer’s office is an approachable, reliable resource that prioritizes clear communication and fair, consistent service for every taxpayer.

• Proactive Management: Applying rigorous financial discipline to the county’s investment portfolio to ensure taxpayer money is always secure and, where appropriate, responsibly managed for the future.
