Leiber ran on a simple promise: do this work, do it well, and do not use the Treasurer’s office as a stepping stone. He has kept that promise. He is an attorney with experience in tax work at the Department of Revenue, legislative staff service, and local boards. He treats the school trust like a trust — principal protected, income maximized, benefits delivered to the public.
