As our population and economy continue to grow, we need Alec's experience working for the long-term fiscal health of our state, counties and cities.” Alec has decades of experience: He has worked in bond markets to help local governments issue debt, dealt with rating agencies, and planned financial strategies in responsible political positions. Alec is the only candidate for Treasurer with both public- and private-sector finance experience, and is best qualified to manage the Treasurer's Office while also facilitating the legislature's overdue reform of Washington's antiquated tax system. Experience matters. The Treasurer's Office sells billions of dollars in debt every year and manages billions in investments. All of it belongs to you, Washington State taxpayers. The Treasurer works in a chaotic world, with volatile financial markets, and big banks that often do not have our best interests at heart. Alec has the background and experience to know how things work and a life-long track record of making them work for you. Vote for your Treasurer: Alec Fisken.
