Wyoming State Treasurer Curt Meier announced today that he will seek re-election, highlighting his record of conservative fiscal management and steady leadership while pledging to continue protecting and growing the state’s financial resources for future generations.
A constitutional conservative, longtime ag producer and veteran public servant, Meier said Wyoming needs experienced leadership in the Treasurer’s Office as the state navigates political and economic uncertainty.
“In uncertain times, Wyoming deserves steady leadership that understands both the responsibility and the opportunity that comes with managing the people’s money,” Meier said. “It is vitally important for Wyoming to have somebody in the treasurer’s office who understands the work that is done there and values the people who are doing that work so well.”
Under Meier’s leadership, Wyoming’s investment portfolio has continued to expand and deliver strong returns for taxpayers. In the most recent fiscal year, earnings from state investments became Wyoming’s largest source of revenue for the first time in state history. That performance speaks to the quality of the team built by Meier, and demonstrates the importance of his experience and knowledge in guiding the state’s financial stewardship.
Before becoming state treasurer, Meier served 24 years in the Wyoming Legislature representing Goshen, Platte, Niobrara and Weston counties. During his tenure he earned a reputation as a fiscal and social conservative and thoughtful policymaker. His work in the Legislature was often focused on protecting Wyoming taxpayers, strengthening the state’s financial footing and ensuring responsible management of public funds. He served in leadership roles and on key committees responsible for state budgeting, taxation and economic policy, and was known for listening to constituents and representing their interests in the Capitol.
Meier said his experience prepared him to lead the Treasurer’s Office during a time when it faced monumental challenges, his response to those challenges produced a generational transformation in the office that produced significant financial growth.
As a result, Wyoming’s investment earnings have better supported public schools, local governments, infrastructure and essential services across the state, while helping Wyoming reduce its reliance on traditional revenue sources.
Under Meier, the Treasurer’s Office has received national recognition for its investment management and financial stewardship, reflecting Wyoming’s growing reputation as a leader in responsible public finance.
In addition, the Treasurer’s Office has significantly expanded efforts to return unclaimed property to Wyoming residents. The office has returned record amounts of money to citizens, businesses and organizations, reconnecting people with forgotten bank accounts, insurance benefits, refunds and other assets. More than $43 million was claimed by citizens last year, and Meier said returning those funds to their rightful owners is one of the most rewarding parts of the job.
“Those dollars belong to Wyoming people,” Meier said. “When we get a check back into someone’s hands that they didn’t know they had coming, that’s government working the way it should.”
He is pleased with the office’s success under his leadership, but the State Treasurer said the most important work is still ahead, and he is seeking another term because of his commitment to protecting Wyoming’s long-term future. “We’re losing that future every day,” Meier said. “I want Wyoming to be a place where people can not only retire here, but enjoy having their children and grandchildren around them in retirement as well.”
He said the state must continue building a strong financial foundation so that families can build their lives in Wyoming rather than being forced to leave.
“Wyoming’s future is in its people,” Meier said. “A lot of people are worried about what is coming to their backyards, but what I want to see in your backyard is your children and grandchildren at a Saturday barbecue.”
Meier said his campaign will focus on protecting Wyoming’s constitutional principles, maintaining disciplined investment strategies and ensuring the Treasurer’s Office continues to generate strong returns for the people of Wyoming.
“My mission is clear, and always has been,” Meier said. “Protect the people’s money, grow it responsibly and make sure Wyoming stays strong for the families that want to keep calling this place home.”
