Secretary Ken Salazar
“I’ve known Jeff Bridges for many years, and I’ve seen his commitment to public service up close. When Jeff worked for me in the U.S. Senate, he brought together Democrats and Republicans to save a program that protected American soldiers’ lives in combat. That’s who Jeff is. As a legislator and as Chair of Colorado’s Budget Committee, he’s shown that same courage, compassion, and commitment to working together that Coloradans expect from their leaders. Jeff Bridges will make an outstanding State Treasurer.”
—Ken Salazar, Former U.S. Secretary of the Interior, U.S. Senator, and U.S. Ambassador to Mexico

Governor Roy Romer
“I’ve spent much of my life in public service, including serving as Colorado’s State Treasurer, and I believe we need more people like Jeff Bridges in elected office. There is no better preparation for this job than the four years Jeff has served on Colorado’s Joint Budget Committee. That experience has given him a deep understanding of how to use Colorado’s dollars to expand opportunity and improve affordability across our state. Jeff Bridges will be an excellent State Treasurer.”
—Roy Romer, Former Governor and State Treasurer of Colorado

Treasurer Cary Kennedy
“I know what it takes to serve as Colorado’s Treasurer, and I know Jeff Bridges has what it takes. I’ve watched him lead with integrity, humility, and a deep commitment to doing right by people. Jeff is someone I trust, not only because he understands the numbers, but because he never forgets what those numbers mean for families across Colorado. That’s why I believe he will be an exceptional Treasurer.”
—Cary Kennedy, Former Colorado State Treasurer

Congressman Joe Neguse
“I’ve known Jeff Bridges for decades, and I can tell you he’s the real deal. Jeff has always understood that budgets are about more than numbers, they’re about people. As Chair of the Joint Budget Committee, he’s proven he can balance the books while still investing in what matters most for Colorado families. He brings both financial expertise and deep Colorado values to everything he does, and that’s why I’m proud to endorse him for Treasurer.”
— Joe Neguse, U.S. Representative for Colorado’s 2nd District

Congressman Jason Crow
“I’ve known Jeff Bridges for years, and what stands out to me isn’t just his expertise with budgets, it’s his leadership. Jeff shows up, he listens, and he does the work with humility and integrity.

Congressman John Salazar
“I know what it means to fight for rural Colorado, for our farmers, ranchers, and working families.

I trust him to be a Treasurer who invests in every corner of Colorado.”
—John Salazar, Former U.S. Representative for Colorado’s 3rd District

President James Coleman
“I’ve served alongside Jeff Bridges for nearly a decade, and I’ve seen him lead with heart and skill. Jeff is a husband, a father, and a public servant who never forgets why the work matters. As Chair of the Joint Budget Committee, he helped balance a billion-dollar deficit while protecting Colorado families, schools, and small businesses. Jeff brings people together to solve tough problems and deliver real results. That’s the kind of steady, values-driven leadership we need in our next State Treasurer.”
—James Coleman, President of the Colorado State Senate
