Small business is the backbone of Colorado’s economy. In fact, we have a larger small business sector than most states. Because of that, It is imperative that we do everything in our power to support small businesses and create a healthy economic environment in Colorado.

That is why as State Treasurer, Dave has prioritized the effective rollout of the CLIMBER Small Business Loan Program. CLIMBER provides $250 million in loans for small businesses to recover from the pandemic, lower costs, and stay competitive in the current economy. Dave will continue to oversee the CLIMBER Small Business Loan Program and make sure all small businesses receive the assistance they need.

Everybody deserves a sustainable and dignified retirement. The key to long term economic prosperity is the ability of all Coloradans to save and prepare for a retirement.. Colorado, much like the rest of the country, is facing a retirement savings crisis.

That is why, as State Treasurer, Dave is standing up the Colorado SecureSavings program, which will help one million Coloradans save and prepare for retirement - while saving taxpayers $18 billion in safety net services over the next 30 years. This program is scheduled to launch in January 2023. As Treasurer, Dave will continue to ensure Colorado SecureSavings’ success.
