A Democrat has announced he’ll run for State Treasurer of Louisiana this fall. He is 42-year-old Dustin Granger; a professional financial planner from Lake Charles. He says he wants to make the state better for future generations…:
“I want my girls to have a future here. I have two young little girls. And I have the experience and know-how to fix it. That’s why I’m running for Treasurer.”
Granger says the state has wasted billions investing in an oil & gas economy that is in decline. He says the state should look to invest its revenues more wisely…:
“There’s a lot of land mines in our fossil fuel industry in the future. I think, at the same time, we’re missing out on a new energy revolution that’s happening, and Louisiana has the potential for a lot of investment.”
Granger says, as a financial advisor his job is to assure clients (quote) “have income for the rest of their lives.” He says, as Treasurer he would do the same for Louisiana…:
“I have been a fiduciary for two decades, as a financial advisor helping working-class families. So I’m very much experienced in dealing with things like this, and we need a good advisor for the state.”
Baton Rouge state Representative Scott McKnight, a Republican, is the only other announced candidate for State Treasurer so far. You can see Granger’s website HERE
