Democrat Nick Mansour announced his candidacy for state treasurer on Tuesday, touting his business experience as essential to shepherding Arizona’s finances.
The Tucson native joins an open race for the state treasurer’s seat – Kimberly Yee has hit the term limit for the office, and is now running in the Republican primary for state superintendent of public instruction.
In a statement, Mansour said his record in the private sector – most recently as chairman of the Arizona College of Nursing, which expanded under his leadership to 24 campuses across 14 states – will help deliver strong returns on Arizona’s investments.
“We have a unique opportunity to capitalize on Arizona’s growth, and I know how to attract businesses and create good jobs because I've done it before,” Mansour said. “For me, this campaign is about ensuring Arizona remains the best place to live, work, and raise a family.”
