From the October 2026 issue of The Colorado Conservative.

Kevin Grantham and a Conservative Case for the Colorado State Treasury

A former Senate president, county commissioner, and longtime appraisal professional brings a practical background to the race for treasurer. His priority is clear. Protect public money, invest it prudently, and keep it ready for the obligations Colorado must meet.

## A Dollar Is Never Just a Number

Consider a Colorado family looking over a property-tax notice after another year of higher grocery bills, insurance premiums, and housing costs. The figures may be arranged in orderly columns, but the consequences are personal. Every dollar assigned to one purpose is a dollar unavailable for something else.

Kevin Grantham’s campaign begins with a principle that makes sense at that kitchen table: public money deserves the same care as the earnings that supplied it. In the 2026 race for state treasurer, he offers a clear focus on protecting resources, investing prudently, and keeping government accountable to Coloradans. \[1\]\[2\]

Grantham describes the treasurer as a steward of money entrusted to state government. His priorities are protecting principal, earning prudent returns, and keeping funds available when obligations come due. That puts dependable financial management at the center of the office. Democrat Jeff Bridges proposes using more investment capacity for housing, infrastructure, clean energy, and Colorado businesses. Grantham argues that every investment must first serve the financial duties attached to the money. I find that discipline persuasive. \[1\]\[2\]

Grantham’s preparation reaches across several levels of government. He served on the Cañon City Council, worked in the legislature’s budget process, presided over the Colorado Senate, and now serves as a Fremont County commissioner. Those roles connect neighborhood concerns with statewide finance. His background gives him a practical understanding of how public dollars move through government and why taxpayers deserve clear answers. \[3\]\[6\]

## The Office Behind the State’s Checkbook

The state treasurer is one of Colorado’s independently elected executive officers. Its work rarely produces the political headlines associated with the governor or attorney general, yet sound treasury operations are essential to nearly every branch of government.

[![Kevin Grantham seated, as pictured in the magazine](https://www.thecoloradoconservative.com/content/files/images/tcc-issue-02/kevin-grantham-photo.jpeg)](https://www.thecoloradoconservative.com/content/files/images/tcc-issue-02/kevin-grantham-photo.jpeg)

The office manages state cash and investments, carries out debt-related responsibilities, operates the Great Colorado Payback unclaimed-property program, and participates in several state financial boards. The treasurer also serves on the board of the Public Employees’ Retirement Association, known as PERA. Billions of dollars move through or are safeguarded by the financial systems connected to this office. \[1\]\[4\]

The office’s independence gives a treasurer a valuable platform for fiscal accountability. Within the law, the treasurer makes investment and operational decisions, reports on financial conditions, and advocates sound policy. The legislature and governor set budgets and tax policy, while pension benefits follow their own legal framework. Grantham’s familiarity with those institutions would help him exercise the office’s authority effectively and communicate where responsibility lies.

A state investment policy must balance safety, liquidity, and return. Safety protects public principal. Liquidity ensures cash is available when schools, agencies, and other obligations require payment. Return seeks to earn income without taking risks inconsistent with those first two duties. Colorado’s published investment policy identifies these priorities in that order. \[4\]

## From Rural Colorado to the State Senate

Kevin Grantham grew up in Ordway, in Crowley County on Colorado’s southeastern plains. His campaign describes a childhood shaped by agriculture, small business, and careful household budgeting. He later earned a bachelor’s degree from Liberty University. \[5\]\[6\]

His professional background includes real-estate appraisal in Fremont County since 1998\. That work requires examining assets, weighing market evidence, and supporting estimates of value. It gives Grantham practical familiarity with property markets and financial information. The habit of asking what an asset is worth, and why, is useful preparation for a financial office. \[6\]

Grantham’s elected service began on the Cañon City Council in 2007\. He entered the Colorado Senate in January 2011 and served until early 2019\. He served on the Joint Budget Committee and chaired Appropriations in 2015 and 2016, then became Senate president for 2017 and 2018\. Since January 2021, he has been a Fremont County commissioner. His record combines legislative leadership with local service. \[3\]\[6\]

A city council handles decisions close to households and businesses. A county commission deals with budgets, local services, and residents who expect visible answers. The state legislature demands negotiation over far larger sums and often competing priorities. Together, those positions give Grantham experience with public finance at several levels of government.

His campaign highlights property-tax reductions in Fremont County, opposition to major tax increases, and balanced budgets during his Senate presidency. He presents these as evidence of fiscal restraint. They fit his campaign’s consistent theme: government should manage its money carefully and remain mindful of the households and businesses providing it. \[5\]

## A Personal Perspective: The Man Behind the Mustache

I have met Kevin Grantham many times and spoken with him throughout his journey toward the State Treasurer’s Office. Those conversations have helped me understand both the man and the purpose he sees in seeking another opportunity to serve Colorado.

Of course, one of the first things anyone notices about Grantham is his magnificent mustache. I confess to a touch of envy. But beyond that unmistakable feature is something more consequential: a record of service in which budgets, taxpayer protections, and the responsibilities of government have been recurring concerns.

During his years in the Colorado Senate, including his service as president, Grantham worked inside the budget process and argued for fiscal restraint. I see a public official whose approach begins with asking what government can accomplish responsibly with the resources it has. His experience on the Joint Budget Committee adds substance to that outlook. He has dealt with the appropriations, competing needs, and difficult choices that turn a statement of principle into a governing responsibility.

What stands out in my conversations with him is that he does not speak of the treasurer’s position as merely an opportunity to hold another office. He sees it as a chance to apply his knowledge of Colorado’s financial and political systems to protect resources entrusted to the state and to insist on clearer accountability for their use.

Grantham has repeatedly emphasized the Colorado Constitution, the taxpayer protections it contains, and the importance of reminding both the legislature and the governor’s office that public money carries public obligations. His view, as I understand it, is that the treasurer should use the office’s independent voice, public financial reporting, and participation in state financial decisions to press for greater fiscal responsibility.

An independent treasurer can put financial facts before the public, identify risks, and ask difficult questions about entrusted money. Grantham’s knowledge of the legislature would be useful in that work. He knows the institutions making budget decisions and the importance of explaining their effects. I value that combination of financial scrutiny and an experienced voice.

That is the role I understand Grantham to be seeking: not simply guarding the balance in an account, but helping keep the people responsible for that account answerable to the Coloradans whose work supplied the money in the first place.

My favorable impression comes from those conversations and his record. Public finance has been a recurring part of Grantham’s service. He discusses protecting resources and holding government accountable with the familiarity of someone who has worked through budget decisions. I believe that continuity gives his campaign a solid foundation.

## The Three Tests: Safety, Return, and Liquidity

In a September interview with Colorado Public Radio, Grantham described the treasurer as the state’s chief investment officer and identified three responsibilities: protect the money, invest it beneficially, and preserve access to cash when needed. His emphasis closely resembles the treasury’s existing investment-policy hierarchy. \[2\]\[4\]

Grantham puts financial discipline at the center of treasury management. Money needed for public obligations must remain dependable. A worthwhile project still needs financing suited to its risks and repayment schedule. His approach keeps those duties ahead of enthusiasm for a particular investment.

Prudent management means earning returns and preserving purchasing power. Grantham’s emphasis on safety, beneficial investment, and access to cash addresses that balance. His standard is to understand permitted risks, assess them carefully, and keep each fund’s purpose in view. \[2\]\[4\]

Grantham is open to investments in Colorado when their safety, risks, and returns meet the state’s financial requirements. His position gives local opportunities a fair hearing while retaining a consistent test. Location alone should neither qualify nor disqualify an investment. The question is whether it serves the people whose money is being held and the obligations that money must meet. \[1\]

## A Clear Choice on the Treasury’s Purpose

The difference between Grantham and Bridges concerns how broadly to use the treasury’s investment capacity. Bridges, a Democratic senator with budget experience, favors more investment in Colorado projects. Grantham emphasizes stewardship first. That matters because the treasury must meet existing obligations while evaluating proposed new uses of its resources. \[1\]\[7\]

Bridges proposes investing more state dollars in Colorado housing, infrastructure, clean energy, and businesses while seeking returns for taxpayers. Those are legitimate public concerns. The choice is how the treasury should address them. Grantham offers a test rooted in protecting funds and meeting their purposes, an approach I find particularly persuasive. \[1\]\[7\]

A project may benefit a community without being suitable for a particular public fund. Grantham’s approach keeps that distinction clear and requires an investment to justify its place on financial grounds.

That discipline protects the ability to meet obligations even when a proposal has an appealing public purpose. Financial suitability must remain central to investment decisions.

Grantham’s position supports Colorado’s economy through sound finance. Safe, liquid investments and reliable operations help government meet obligations on which communities depend. Local investments can qualify when their terms meet the standards. His approach applies those standards consistently, with financial analysis guiding decisions about where public money belongs. \[1\]\[4\]

His budget experience strengthens the case. A former Senate president and budget-committee member knows that committing money to one purpose affects what remains for another. Grantham’s emphasis on guarding the balance sheet reflects respect for taxpayers: their money deserves a clear purpose, understandable risks, and an account of results. \[3\]\[6\]

## An Unclaimed-Property Debate with Real Dollars

One of the clearest differences in the race concerns money the state holds for people who have not yet claimed it. Colorado’s Great Colorado Payback program safeguards assets such as dormant accounts, uncashed checks, refunds, and other forgotten property while working to return them to the rightful owners. \[9\]

During the 2026 legislative session, lawmakers enacted House Bill 26-1401\. The law required a transfer on June 30, 2026, of $72.8 million from the Unclaimed Property Trust Fund to the state General Fund and another $2.2 million to a housing-development fund. It also ended authorization for certain future transfers. Bridges was one of the bill’s prime sponsors. \[10\]

Grantham opposes using unclaimed-property assets to fill budget gaps. The money, he argues, belongs to Coloradans and should remain dedicated to its owners. I agree. \[8\]

Bridges acknowledges owners’ rights and favors returning their property. His sponsorship of the transfer bill makes the policy difference concrete. Grantham objects to treating entrusted money as a budget solution. \[8\]\[10\]

A lawful transfer does not erase a valid owner’s right to claim property. Grantham challenges the policy choice: should money held for Coloradans help cover the state’s budget needs? His position puts owners first and calls attention to reserves, future claims, and the duties attached to entrusted assets. \[8\]\[9\]\[10\]

That focus gives the debate a useful direction. The treasury should explain how the trust is funded, how claims are honored, and how property is returned. Changes to statutory transfer rules require legislation. Grantham’s experience in that process would help him advocate safeguards and keep owners’ interests before lawmakers. \[6\]\[9\]\[10\]

## PERA and the Responsibility to Honor Promises

Colorado’s Public Employees’ Retirement Association supports teachers, state employees, and other public servants. Its health matters to retirees and future state budgets. The treasurer serves on PERA’s board within its governance and legal framework. Grantham emphasizes earned benefits, careful risk management, and attention to costs. Those priorities recognize both retirement promises and the responsibility to sustain them. \[1\]\[8\]\[11\]

PERA reported that its defined-benefit trust funds held $75.1 billion in investments at the end of 2025 and earned a 14.1 percent net-of-fees return that year. Despite that strong single-year performance, the combined funded ratio stood at 69.1 percent. A good investment year does not erase obligations accumulated over decades. \[11\]

Grantham says Colorado must honor the benefits employees have earned. He calls for appropriate risk management, strong returns, and scrutiny of investment overhead and compensation. His aim is to keep more resources working toward retirement obligations. That emphasis on value for money fits his broader approach to the treasury. \[8\]

Cost review should build on what works. PERA reports that most investment assets are managed internally and estimates this costs less than outsourcing comparable work. Grantham’s call for scrutiny can be evaluated against that information, focusing on overall value. \[8\]\[12\] Careful oversight weighs costs alongside results. That helps evaluate compensation and expenses while protecting the expertise needed to manage retirement assets well. \[12\]

[![Community event photograph from the Kevin Grantham article](https://www.thecoloradoconservative.com/content/files/images/tcc-issue-02/grantham-community-event.jpeg)](https://www.thecoloradoconservative.com/content/files/images/tcc-issue-02/grantham-community-event.jpeg)

Grantham begins with honoring what employees have earned. His scrutiny of costs addresses how to sustain that commitment. It is reasonable to ask whether each expense contributes to performance and whether resources can be used better. \[8\]

The goal is dependable retirement funding, with decisions judged by their contribution to that obligation over time.

Returns after fees, funding progress, actuarial assumptions, and clear reporting provide measures of success. Grantham would work as one trustee within that framework. His fiscal-restraint perspective would add a voice for careful spending and accountable management in service of retirement security.

## Taxpayer Protections, TABOR, and the Affordability Debate

Grantham is a firm supporter of Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, or TABOR. He argues that limits on the growth of government revenue and the requirement for voter approval of certain tax increases help prevent state finances from expanding beyond what families can afford. \[2\]

Bridges supports voter approval of tax increases but favors raising TABOR’s revenue cap for education investment. Grantham argues that government should do better with existing resources before asking for more. His position gives taxpayers a clear advocate for restraint. \[2\]\[7\]

Grantham defends voters’ role in revenue decisions. A treasurer cannot change the constitution or impose taxes independently, but can provide analysis and defend constitutional limits. Grantham would use that platform to press for better management of existing resources. \[2\]

Good stewardship also means checking whether spending delivers its intended benefits. A careful treasurer can make costs and results easier to understand. Grantham’s focus on accountability keeps taxpayers’ interests in that work.

For a household deciding what can wait until next month, affordability means choices. Grantham’s emphasis on restraint connects public finance with the people paying the bills.

## An Independent Perspective on Household Costs

One of Grantham’s more distinctive public comments concerns tariffs. In a September interview, he argued that tariffs ultimately function as taxes borne by consumers and said a state treasurer should be willing to make that case to federal officials of either party. \[2\]

[![Justice-themed illustration from the Kevin Grantham article](https://www.thecoloradoconservative.com/content/files/images/tcc-issue-02/grantham-justice-illustration.jpeg)](https://www.thecoloradoconservative.com/content/files/images/tcc-issue-02/grantham-justice-illustration.jpeg)

That position gives substance to Grantham’s concern about affordability. He will question a federal policy when he believes it burdens Colorado households. A treasurer cannot set trade policy, but can explain its effects and bring the state’s concerns to federal officials.

Bridges also criticizes tariffs. Grantham’s argument extends his concern for household costs to decisions made by political allies. \[2\]\[7\] His willingness to make that case to officials of either party is a useful quality in a statewide financial officer. \[2\]

Independence matters when the job is to safeguard resources and explain financial consequences. Grantham carries his affordability principles into a difficult policy discussion. I consider that a strength in someone seeking responsibility for public money.

## A Stronger Focus on Stewardship

The next treasurer inherits investment and debt-management duties, unclaimed property, Colorado SecureSavings, and property-tax deferral. Under Dave Young, the department also supported infrastructure-financing and unclaimed-property legislation. Grantham would administer existing law while bringing his priorities to the office. His city, county, and state service gives him a useful perspective on the institutions and residents those programs serve. \[4\]\[6\]\[9\]\[13\]

Grantham offers a clear standard: safeguard resources, manage them efficiently, and explain their use. That applies across programs. Whether the office handles an investment, returns property, or runs a financial service, the person relying on it deserves competence and a clear account of results.

His emphasis on the traditional custody and investment role would give the treasury a clear organizing priority. Existing programs would still require lawful administration, but protecting resources would guide decisions within the office’s discretion. I see merit in that focus. It asks the treasurer to begin with the obligations already entrusted to the state and make sure they are being met carefully, efficiently, and transparently.

Investment results against benchmarks, reliable cash management, timely property returns, costs, and risk reporting offer practical measures. Grantham’s budgeting and appraisal background is relevant to asking those questions and examining the details. \[4\]\[6\]

## Experience and Leadership for the Work Ahead

Grantham’s path through city, county, and state government is relevant to a statewide financial office. He has handled appropriations, chaired the state Senate, and participated in local decisions affecting property owners. His real-estate appraisal work adds a private-sector perspective on asset values and local markets. \[3\]\[6\]

He chaired Appropriations and served on the Joint Budget Committee before becoming Senate president. Those roles put him inside the workings of state finance. \[6\]\[14\] A treasurer must understand financial information and the institutions acting on it. Grantham has experience with both. He knows the legislature from the inside and has returned to local government, where budget decisions are closely connected to residents’ concerns. That combination strengthens his case. \[6\]\[14\] His preparation is relevant to the work ahead: evaluating resources, asking informed questions, and keeping public obligations in view. The breadth of that experience is one of the strongest arguments for his candidacy. \[6\]

It is a solid foundation for the careful administration Colorado’s treasury requires.

Grantham would bring experience with budgets, property markets, and local services. His priorities provide a clear basis for judging his work: protect funds, pursue prudent returns, maintain access to cash, and explain decisions. I believe that preparation and purpose make a strong case for him. \[2\]\[6\] His campaign gives stewardship a clear place at the center of the race.

The broader ballot also includes Libertarian Jodie Barr and Approval Voting Party candidate Marilee Langner Sturgis. Their presence is a reminder that the debate over public finance extends beyond the two major-party nominees. \[1\]

## What Stewardship Should Look Like

The State Treasury does not need to be the loudest office in Colorado. It needs to be dependable. Payrolls and payments must clear. Investments must be handled within the law. Retirement promises require honest accounting. Property held for residents must remain identifiable and returnable.

Grantham’s background connects rural Colorado, property appraisal, legislative budgeting, and county government. His campaign builds on it with a disciplined view of the treasury. Public money should be guarded, invested prudently, and available when needed. That serves agencies awaiting payment, employees counting on retirement benefits, and residents entitled to recover property held by the state. \[2\]\[6\]\[8\]

His case begins with the people whose work supplied the money in the first place.

Stewardship means dependable payments, careful investments, and clear information. Grantham’s emphasis on those duties is practical. Competent administration is a valuable public service.

For taxpayers, retirees, and residents recovering forgotten accounts, reliability matters. Grantham’s experience and priorities address those expectations. In my view, his case is strongest when he speaks about the people behind the balance sheet and the care their money deserves.

Kevin Grantham offers experience, conservative principles, and a sustained concern for fiscal accountability. I believe his knowledge and restraint would serve Colorado well. Where every household dollar matters, those are compelling qualifications for the person entrusted with its treasury.
