Hi Friend,
My name is Dave Young - I am an educator, a union member, a lifelong community leader, and the current State Treasurer for Colorado. As Treasurer, I have worked to create an economy that works for all.
We created programs to help one million Coloradans save for a dignified and sustainable retirement - while saving taxpayers $18 billion.
We supported our teachers and students with programs that financed $645 million to ensure teachers have the resources they need so students get the education they deserve.
We are providing small businesses with nearly $250 million for loans to help recover from the pandemic, fight inflation, and raise employee wages.
We financed $1.9 billion in transportation projects to help repair Colorado’s rapidly deteriorating infrastructure.
And on top of that, we successfully managed over $18 billion of state funds, keeping tax dollars safe and generating returns to take the tax burden off of Coloradans.
