Statement
For Nick Mansour, the State Treasurer's office is not a political stepping stone for higher office. It is the place to make Arizona the best place to live, work, and raise a family. That work starts with restoring fiscal accountability and transparency to the Treasurer's Office, along with investing in education so Arizonans are ready for today's challenges and tomorrow's opportunities. Nick's career has been dedicated to leading companies that help others better themselves, whether through earning a nursing degree, working in emergency services, or pursuing other opportunities. He defines success by how much he helps others succeed. Nick knows that Arizona's money is OUR money. He is running for State Treasurer to watch over taxpayer dollars, eliminate waste, invest responsibly, and return money to hardworking Arizonans where it belongs. He will ensure the state's finances are run like those of the successful businesses he has led, so cities, towns, school districts, and counties have the resources they need. He understands the Treasurer's main job is investing and managing tax dollars wisely. Recent waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars are unacceptable to Nick. In his view, even one dollar of waste is too much.
Biography
Nick Mansour, a third-generation Arizonan, is a first-time candidate who previously served as chairman and CEO of the Arizona College of Nursing, which grew from one campus to more than 20 campuses in 14 states. Raised by a nurse and a doctor, he attended Salpointe Catholic High School and earned degrees in industrial engineering and an MBA. He proposes investing roughly 70% to 80% of the state's Permanent Land Endowment Trust Fund in stock index funds rather than bonds, recommends keeping the land-trust distribution rate for schools at no more than 6.9%, and calls for releasing as much information as possible on Empowerment Scholarship Account spending while protecting student data. In a Sept. 23, 2026 Clean Elections debate, he and Republican Elijah Norton each argued the other would put the state's money at risk. Mansour and his wife, Annemarie, live in Phoenix and have four adult children. He ran unopposed in the July 21, 2026 Democratic primary and faces Norton in the November 3, 2026 general election.
