NEWS BRIEF
The Colorado Sun reports that the Colorado state treasurer’s race includes state Sen. Jeff Bridges, a Democrat, and Fremont County Commissioner Kevin Grantham, a Republican. The office manages state investments, helps finance some public construction and oversees programs including unclaimed property.
Bridges said he would seek more Colorado-based investment in areas such as housing, infrastructure and childcare, while Grantham said he would prioritize investment safety and liquidity. The candidates also described differing views on TABOR, SecureSavings and PERA investment policy. Both said unclaimed-property funds should remain available to their owners rather than be used for state programs.
What to know
The candidates agree that unclaimed-property money should remain available to owners, but they differ on state investment priorities, TABOR and the treasurer’s role in addressing state budget pressures.
