Thomas Burchfield

Name:

Why did you pursue the position you are running for?

I want to make a difference in Saline County. My life has always been about service and I feel like I can make a huge difference serving as your County Treasurer.

What prior experience do you have that is applicable to this position? How do you plan to use this experience?

I’m the only candidate in this race with Treasurer Office experience. I currently serve you as Manager of Financial Education at the State Treasurer’s office. I’ve also served in the Circuit Clerk’s office, County Coroner’s office, and over 10 years as a first responder. Working in several county wide offices and at the

State Treasurer’s office,

I’ve learned how to run an office efficiently and manage investments. Two plans managed by our office, Arkansas 529 and Arkansas ABLE have grown to over a billion and three million in assets, respectively, thanks to my help and other leadership.

What plans do you have to improve Saline County/ your district?

I want to bring my experience from the State Treasurer’s office to the County Treasurer’s office. Not only do I plan on taking care of the day to day operations of the office, I want to bring new financial literacy initiatives to the people of Saline County. I hope to partner with various groups around the county to help those most in need.

Why should you get the people’s vote/ What makes you a better choice than your opponent?

I’m the most experienced, christian, conservative in this race. I’m the only candidate to pledge never to take a pay raise, if elected. And I’m the only candidate endorsed by the State Treasurer.
