Two-way race: turnout matters
April Frederick D
April Frederick is the only non-Republican on the ballot, so this is a two-way race and turnout is what matters. It is an open seat, but no Democrat ran for treasurer in 2022, so there is no recent margin; in 2024, Republicans beat Democrats in Ada County's countywide races by 15 to 21 points.
Method rule 3 · How we pick
What this office controls
The Treasurer keeps and invests the county's public funds and is the ex officio tax collector, collecting the property taxes levied by the county, cities, schools and other taxing districts. The Treasurer is also the public administrator for estates of people who die with no one to handle the estate. (source)
