About Dave

Karen and Dave Jamison are life-long residents of Iowa and have called Ames their home for more than 20 years. Dave’s only time away from Iowa has been while serving in the US Marine Corps. Karen and Dave have three wonderful children and are constantly working to make Iowa a place for all of our children to stay and prosper.

Jamison has been the Treasurer of Story County since 1995. Throughout his tenure, Dave has a record of outstanding success fighting government red tape. The County Treasurer’s office has reduced the time it takes to process tax payments from over four weeks to one day – earning money for Iowa taxpayers while reducing cost of running government.

Jamison has worked to improve government for all Iowans by leading the effort to get all counties in Iowa to provide on-line property tax payments and motor vehicle registration renewals – saving tax dollars while expanding service and convenience. Jamison also serves on the Iowa Donor Network Board of Directors.

Jamison has been a fighter to reduce government waste. Jamison was a strong voice calling for greater openness and disclosure in Story County when Board members mishandled public funds related to employees’ deferred compensation. Dave supports greater accountability and transparency in government at ALL levels.

Jamison has a proven track record of reducing government, fighting against government debt and overspending, reducing taxes, and focusing on serving all Iowans.

Dave Jamison is the fiscal conservative we need today to lead reforms in our State Treasurers office and to restore trust in Government.

Vote Dave Jamison for State Treasurer!
