Shelly Akerly
For Dallas County Treasurer
Would you hire an artist to perform surgery? No.
Then why would we allow a politician to run the office of the Treasurer?
This is the question Shelly Akerly asked herself before deciding to run for Dallas County Treasurer. She saw an office that’s sole responsibility is acting as the chief custodian of county finances had become a weapon of political activism, ripe with corruption.
Shelly Akerly is an accountant running for Dallas County Treasurer. She is determined to bring her fiscal responsibility and effective management style to the office of Treasurer. Shelly believes the Treasurer’s office should not voice a political opinion but instead focus on trust, ethics, and fiduciary responsibility.
Dallas County deserves better, Dallas County deserves someone who will prioritize service, not politics. That someone is Shelly Akerly, your next Dallas County Treasurer.
Vision & Values
For the last several years, Dallas County has been burdened by inefficient government. Corrupt politicians and ineptitude have led to the decline of our community and have prevented the greater community from reaching its full potential.
The heart of all corruption resides in personal ethics. Shelly’s foundation of accounting and audit training provides a framework to foster an environment of ethical behavior. As a businesswoman, Shelly knows the impact small improvements can make on the bottom line. Separating origination and audit functions, rotation of duties and planned abscesses all are tools Shelly will implement to promote strong ethical practices within the office of the Treasurer.
She’s ready to dig in and bring business efficiency to county government.
Too often, the government has mismanaged resources and finances. Politicians are running the financial offices when they do not have the education, background, or temperament for the job. We need someone with real-life experience to help manage Dallas County and unlock our true potential as a thriving community.
The treasurer is essentially the banker of Dallas County. Your banker’s politics should not matter to you – nor should your politics matter to your banker. What matters is solid and accurate accounting. Each dollar that comes into Dallas County comes from hard working families. The dollars are not Democrat blue or Republican red – they are Dallas GREEN.
Shelly strongly believes that Dallas County deserves a government that treats tax dollars with great care and efficiency.
