Budget Cuts: Bonding [borrowing] to pay for on-going expenses is not sound fiscal policy. As state treasurer, I will speak out against borrowing to cover lack of fiscal discipline, according to Jamison’s website

To increase transparency about state spending, Jamison proposes making every bill paid by the state viewable online.

Jobs and Economic Development: Several states have requirements that a portion of all the state’s investments go to in-state economic development, according to Jamison’s website. Jamison hopes to see a similar program enacted in Iowa.

He has cut property tax payment processing time from four weeks to one day during his time as treasurer, and he prides himself on using technology to make his office more efficient, according to Jamison’s website.

Education: Jamison’s website proposes a slight change to the College Savings Iowa program. Currently, investments for the program are made through the Vanguard Group, based in Pennsylvania. Jamison proposes giving companies based in Iowa a chance to compete.

Background: Jamison is a lifelong Iowa resident, aside from five years spent in the Marine Corps. He graduated from Iowa State with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration. Jamison has been the treasurer of Story County since 1995.
