CO-TREAS: Former Colorado Senate president begins Republican campaign for state treasurer

Kevin Grantham, a Fremont County commissioner and former state Senate president, announced Tuesday that he is running for Colorado treasurer next year.

“I’m a conservative at heart. I believe in fiscal accountability and that there is no greater responsibility than making sure Colorado is a safe and affordable place to raise our families,” the 55-year-old Republican said in a video posted to his campaign website.

There has not been a Republican elected to statewide office since 2016.

The state treasury essentially functions as Colorado’s bank for public funds and manages the state’s investment portfolios, debt and unclaimed property fund. Treasurers can also help guide the state’s economic policy in the Legislature.
