Kealey qualified and principled

As Idaho’s state controller, I oversee the state’s financial systems and work closely with the state treasurer. We work to ensure that Idaho’s finances are in order and can continue to support the rapid growth within our state. It is crucial that voters select a candidate who is qualified and will work hard to protect Idaho’s money. Tom Kealey is that candidate.

I have worked with Tom for a number of years on the Idaho Endowment Fund Investment Board and he always came well prepared with solid ideas for investments and maximizing returns for Idaho. Tom helped grow the fund from $550 million to over $2 billion.

Additionally, like me, Tom believes in transparency at all levels of government. We can trust him to be fair and just, which is crucial for anyone in leadership. I have continued to work with Tom on the campaign trail and the amount of work he has put in to his race is astounding. He wants to do it right and that is the kind of integrity we need.

Tom is hard-working, extremely qualified, and principled. I am supporting Tom Kealey for state treasurer on May 15.
