Chuck Broerman, the incumbent El Paso County Treasurer, is seeking re-election in 2026. With nearly a decade as El Paso County Clerk and Recorder and more than 20 years of private-sector leadership in technology and business, Broerman brings extensive experience in managing complex operations, budgets, and public services.

Experience and Qualifications

As Treasurer, Broerman oversees property tax collection and distribution for local governments while leading a $2 million budget and a team of 18 employees. He has focused on modernizing county services through digital tools, improved customer service, transparency, and efficient tax administration.

Broerman introduced the first in the nation on-line monthly property tax pre-payment program to assist budget-conscious property owners in making their property tax payments. He is a proven county leader with a strong record of electoral success and community involvement, offering continuity, fiscal stewardship, and the institutional knowledge needed to effectively serve El Paso County taxpayers.

Policy Priorities

Broerman’s top policy priorities include providing transparent, accurate, secure, and citizen-focused treasury services by protecting taxpayer funds, modernizing technology, improving customer service, and ensuring efficient financial management for both residents and local governments.

He also aims to ensure the long-term viability and accessibility of Colorado’s Senior and Disabled Veteran Homestead Exemption Program, which provides critical property tax relief for seniors and disabled veterans living on fixed incomes.

Additionally, Broerman supports making the Senior Homestead Exemption portable, allowing eligible homeowners to carry their exemption with them when they right-size or relocate to a more appropriate home later in life.

Broerman strongly supports the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) as a vital safeguard against government overreach, ensuring taxpayers retain more control over their hard-earned money while promoting accountability and responsible spending.
