Dan Smith
for Douglas County Treasurer
BREAKING THE CYCLE OF DOUGCO POLITICS-AS-USUAL
Expertise you can trust
Fiscally accountable
Leads with Transparency
WHY I AM RUNNING
Douglas County residents and taxpayers deserve to know how their property taxes compare to each other and where their property taxes go. That doesn't exist today. I have 20 years of professional experience in corporate finance working for some of the largest banks and brokerages in the U.S., overseeing half-billion dollar budgets and making sure that financial advisors treat their clients ethically and legally. I understand how to provide transparency and how to provide financial reporting, focusing on fiscal accountability to our tax payers, because I’ve been doing that for more than two decades for some of the most demanding customers on the planet: private sector investors!
Treasurer isn’t a political job, and it shouldn’t be a partisan job. This job should be about who has the skills and qualifications to collect and safeguard taxpayer money. I'm a finance guy. I'm not a career politician. Without a doubt, I am the right person for this job.
​
Bottom line, Douglas County voters deserve to understand how their property taxes compare to each other and they deserve to understand how their property taxes get spent. Right now I see very little transparency and I am running to change that.
