Dave is a native Coloradan who never thought that he would run for public office. He started his career as an educator, teaching math, science, and technology at Heath Junior High in Greeley for 24 years. He then went on to teach at CU Denver for another decade, and worked in the private tech sector for about 4 years.
It will be my most important job as Treasurer to keep your tax dollars safe. Part of this effort includes taking our money out of banks like Wells Fargo that don’t play by the rules. I am in favor of starting a task force to evaluate public banking in our state and have vowed to do so within my first month in office. Several states are already pursuing public banking and I believe Colorado should consider investing our money in ourselves instead of large corporations who do not give us good returns on our investments and put our tax dollars at risk.
