Welcome To My Website
Thank you for taking the time to visit my website to learn more about my candidacy for State Treasurer.
Now more than ever, our government needs to be vigilant with our tax dollars. I have spent my entire professional career using cutting-edge financing techniques to help government become more efficient and be more responsive to the needs of the citizens. This should be the number one priority of any public servant, and I believe that my record reflects this. From reducing Montgomery County’s taxes multiple times and refusing a county salary, to protecting our children while they are in school and preserving open spaces, my experience has afforded me the unique ability to bring innovation to our government.
Please take a moment to learn more about my background, my accomplishments, and my vision for a brighter, stronger Pennsylvania.

Ellis wants PA to reveal investments
Montgomery County has more residents than Alaska. Does that mean ex-Montco commissioners chairman Tom Ellis is as qualified as fellow Republican Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to run for vice president?
Ellis laughed at the idea, in his law office at Ballard Spahr high above Center City, as he prepared to run to Tuesday's McCain-Palin rally in Lancaster. "Though, you know, our budget may be bigger than Alaska's," he joked. (Montco collects more property tax than Alaska, but Alaska has a big edge in oil revenues.)
Ellis is running in November for Pennsylvania Treasurer, against Democratic venture capitalist Rob McCord. Ellis says his experience as a municipal finance lawyer is more relevant to the job than McCord's record of investing state dollars during the Internet bubble and collapse. "Rob tried to sell me some of his funds when I was first county commissioner," he recalled.

Palin gives boost, but questions, too
The governor, who speaks tonight, has fired up the GOP base, but McCain aims for wider appeal.
By Thomas Fitzgerald, Inquirer Staff Writer
ST. PAUL, Minn. - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's life offers a smorgasbord of strategic political demographics:
An NRA member, she hunts moose (and eats the meat). She's a working "hockey mom." She married her high-school sweetheart, a blue-collar guy. She's an antiabortion evangelical Christian. As a bonus, she has tangled with the leaders of her state Republican Party over corruption.
