| Hi! As you may know, I’m Jerry DiTullio. I currently serve as Jefferson County Treasurer and Public Trustee, and I’m running to be Colorado’s next State Treasurer in 2026. I grew up in Denver’s Highlands neighborhood in a working middle-class family. My father immigrated from Italy, and as a first-generation American, I understand firsthand the importance of opportunity, fairness, and community. Those values guide me every day in my elected public service and as a former special education teacher. While I disagreed with much of Washington’s H.R. 1 (Big Beautiful Bill), I supported its provision to end federal income tax on overtime and tips. Unfortunately, some in the Colorado legislature — including two of my opponents — voted to continue taxing these earnings at the state level. This policy disproportionately harms first responders, service workers, and families who rely on overtime pay and tips. Colorado should align with H.R. 1 and stop taxing overtime and tips. As State Treasurer, I will advocate for fair taxation that supports workers, seniors, and families across our state. Tax fairness is labor fairness, and I will fight to ensure Colorado taxpayers are treated with respect. Colorado deserves my proactive approach in the State Treasurer’s Office — one grounded in expertise, accountability, and vision. Managing billions in taxpayer funds demands a leader with the right financial background and proven experience. After all, you wouldn’t hire an electrician to fix a plumbing problem. Why settle for anything less when it comes to safeguarding Colorado’s fiscal future? ** Click Here to Watch Video: https://youtube.com/shorts/SZcUmDhgbCE?feature=share ** Click Here for All Videos: https://jerryforcolorado.com/videos/ |
