Alabama State Treasurer, Democratic Primary

• Taxes — The state treasurer can affect taxes by managing how much money the state borrows. Borrowing money to pay for projects like roads and schools can increase long-term costs, which may lead to higher taxes or less money available for other services.

• Jobs & Opportunity — The state treasurer can affect job stability and public services by managing large investment funds, including retirement systems. Strong investment returns can help maintain funding for government jobs and services, while poor performance can create budget gaps that may lead to cuts.

• Consumer Protection — The state treasurer can affect your personal finances by overseeing unclaimed property programs. Residents may recover money from old bank accounts, uncashed checks, or insurance payments that would otherwise remain unused.
