Andy Vasquez Bond won the June primary election for Brown County treasurer against two fellow Republican challengers.
Whether or not she will face an opponent in November is undetermined, as no Democrat candidate has announced intent to run and third-party candidates hadn’t been able to do so yet.
Bond is no stranger to the office and its functions. She’s worked in the treasurer’s office for more than 11 years. In 2008, she began as a part-time employee, then accepted a full-time deputy treasurer job in 2010. In 2013, she worked alongside current Treasurer Mary Smith as her chief deputy.
“I have experienced each position through the years, so I am well-versed in the daily operations of the treasurer’s office,” she said. Bond has also attended multiple treasurer conferences.
“I’m excited to potentially stay in the office, to be here and continue to be here,” she said about the election results.
Bond received 957 votes, while next-closest challenger Kyle Clark received 612. Carlos Lopez received 134 votes. He had wanted to have his name removed from the ballot, but didn’t file paperwork to do so in time.
To campaign for the general election, Bond plans to put out more signs and get creative on how she gets her name out to the public, especially with not having the fair this year.
When asked what her plans would be for the office, she said she plans to continue the way it has been. “We’re a good team. We work well together,” she said. “We’re getting new financial software, so that will be new.”
Other than that, Bond foresees no major changes coming to the office, “just keep things running smoothly,” she said. “The audits performed by the SBOA (State Board of Accounts) have drastically improved over the years, and if elected, I would strive to continue with the same success.”
