Focus on the bottom line.
The role of County Treasurer is to work with the professional county staff to implement the budget approved by the County Delegation and follow the directives of the County Commissioners.
We all have political views and ideas about public policy, and this position is not the place for them. The role of County Treasurer is non-political and should remain non-partisan.
If I am elected, I promise to continue this tradition of service.
Role and experience
The County Treasurer’s responsibilities are defined in New Hampshire RSA 29.
The Treasurer works with the County Administrator and Finance Director to borrow operating funds against expected tax payments from county property owners per RSA 29:8-b. This borrowing is known as Tax Anticipation Notes. It is important that the County borrows at the most favorable rates available to save taxpayers money.
I have experience in leading engineering organizations at startup companies and Fortune 500 companies like Phillips Healthcare, Fitbit, and Google. In those roles I was directly responsible for budgets rising well into the millions, as well as developing business forecasts factoring in revenue and costs of capital. That experience built on my college studies in stocks and bonds, derivatives, corporate finance, and other advanced economics topics. I have also been responsible for regulatory compliance with laws such as HIPAA, and supporting annual audits.
Having managed large budgets, complex investments, and regulatory challenges, I can hit the ground running as your County Treasurer.
Endorsements
Eliza Leadbeater (Independent)
Former Executive Director, Belknap County Economic Development Council
For 15 years I served our county by leading the Belknap County Economic Development Council. During my tenure, I worked closely with the county delegation, the commissioners, and the county administration staff to build up our economy and dramatically increase our tax base by helping existing businesses in every sector of our economy to expand and also attract new economic opportunities for the region.
I am an independent voter and I am endorsing Jason Sproul for Belknap County treasurer because I know how well Michael Muzzey has served us for several decades in that role. I have known Jason for over a decade and when I learned that Mike has decided not to run I asked Jason if he would run and serve the county in this capacity.
