Elections

In the private sector, businesses must safeguard their revenue base. In the public sector, government must safeguard its tax base. In both scenarios, the base is PEOPLE. As your Jefferson County Treasurer, I have always, and will always, protect and support our County tax base – YOU, the taxpayer.

As you know, I was elected Jefferson County Treasurer in the November 2018 election. Since taking office, my staff and I have been making great strides in improving several areas of the JeffCo Treasurer’s Office.
Due to the 2020-22 pandemic, it has taken resiliency to assist Jeffco taxpayers and to keep our County and special districts funded to provide vital services.

The virus has affected taxpayers physically, mentally, and financially. Many citizens have lost their jobs, their businesses and/or have been furloughed causing a financial strain on personal budgets. Thanks to House Bill 20-1421 (https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb20-1421) and Senate Bill 21-279 (https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb21-279), which I supported and testified on, my department and I worked with taxpayers in 2020 and 2021 on waiving interest on late payments and accepting payment plans on property taxes for residential and commercial properties. We made every effort to assist property owners in paying their property taxes in JeffCo.

In 2020, my department distributed CARES Act Funds and other COVID grants to local businesses and non-profits based on the criteria from the federal government and the Jefferson County Commissioners. I will continue to support and work with taxpayers and our special districts in 2022 and beyond. We are all in this together. Let’s do our best to protect each other and each other’s mental and financial health in 2022 – shop local and live local.

Success Stories:

Fiscal Transparency – The new Treasurer’s Office financial reporting system, which includes the General Fund, Treasurer’s Budget and Quarterly Investment Portfolio, is now available on the JeffCo Treasurer’s webpage at www.jeffco.us/809/Treasurer under “Financial Reports” and “Treasurer’s Notes”.

Efficiency – I have reduced the Treasurer’s Office expenses by $107,000 in 2020 and by $100,000 in 2021. Beginning in 2020, to save taxpayer dollars on mailings (and some trees), my office mails out one, not two, annual Property Tax Notices. We continually cross-train within the Treasurer/Public Trustee Department to enhance customer service for the public.

Customer Service – Our office is making every effort to have phone calls answered by a live person, and to return all voicemails by the end of the same business day. Our office hours have been adjusted to 7:30 am – 5:00 pm.  We have also added a “Chat” function on the JeffCo Treasurer webpage, https://www.jeffco.us/809/Treasurer .

Breaking Down Silos – The Treasurer’s Office is communicating with the public, the County Commissioners and other JeffCo departments more than ever before. Additionally, the Treasurer’s Office is supporting the Clerk & Recorder and the Sheriff’s Office with banking services and internal financial services, such as money orders for the County Clerk’s Office for passports. See https://www.jeffco.us/3834/Treasurers-Notes  or  https://www.jeffco.us/3815/Financial-Reports.

Public Trustee Duties – I have assumed additional duties and staff as the Public Trustee pursuant to HB 19-1295 (https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb19-1295). Commencing on July 1, 2020, the County Treasurer for each Class 2 county (Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Douglas, El Paso, Jefferson, Larimer, Mesa, Pueblo and Weld) became the Public Trustee for their county.  For more information, please see the JeffCo Public Trustee webpage at https://www.jeffco.us/807/Public-Trustee.

Dear Jefferson County Taxpayers & Voters,

I am the Democratic candidate for Jefferson County Treasurer in November of 2018.

My background and experience includes being a former Mayor and a former member of City Council for the City of Wheat Ridge. I am currently the elected Treasurer, since November of 2015, for the City of Wheat Ridge. I am also a teacher at Wheat Ridge High School (WRHS) in Jefferson County. 

I haven’t met a Democrat, Republican or Unaffiliated who doesn’t want their hard-earned tax dollars managed and invested properly, and legally, via the Colorado Revised Statutes-Title 39.

I have the background and experience to do the job for the taxpayers of Jefferson County. As the elected City Treasurer for the City of Wheat Ridge, I understand the job. I understand transparency and win-win public policy. I will work with the Jefferson County Commissioners to help move the County forward in a fiscally responsible manner. Thanks for the vote of confidence – I’m your Treasurer!  Peace.
