Kevin McCasky-Jefferson County Government

As Kevin McCasky knows, it’s important to know not only who your elected officials are, particularly at the state and local levels, but how your local city, state and county governments are made up, and how each position, elected, appointed or otherwise, function as part of representative government.

A former public official of Jefferson County, Colorado, Kevin McCasky understands that though the make-up of local governments may seem somewhat complex, and are perhaps often misunderstood, the positions that comprise these local bodies often have a direct and often considerable impact on local citizens’ lives, and knowing how is serving and where is essential to maintaining a level of accountability.

Formerly County Assessor (1999-2005) and County Commissioner (2005-2011) of Jefferson County, McCasky understands very well the make-up of Jefferson County Government. Currently comprised of 10 elected officials, elected Jeffco leadership includes a three-member Board of County Commissioners, a Clerk and Recorder, a County Assessor, a District Attorney, a Coroner, a Surveyor and Treasurer and a County Sheriff. Jefferson County also includes two appointed officials, including the Executive Director of the Public Library and the Executive Director of Public Health.

A Public Trustee of Jefferson County is appointed by Colorado’s governor to serve every four years.

Kevin McCasky-Looking at Current Job Growth in Colorado

As a former public official in Jefferson County, Colorado, as well as the former President and CEO of the Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation (Jeffco EDC), Kevin McCasky has a vested interest in seeing both the local and state economies succeed, as well as see his community grow and prosper well into the future.

A large component or indicator of any economy’s health, as Kevin McCasky knows, is job growth. As a state which continues to experience considerable population growth, and to attract thousands of people from across the country, it is important for Colorado to maintain and cultivate an economy that not only attracts new businesses and business owners, but to lay to groundwork for existing companies to grow and add good-paying jobs for the foreseeable future.

As of late October 2017, Colorado had surpassed the three million mark in terms of labor force. According to the Denver Post, “The number of people actively involved in Colorado’s labor force — people who have jobs or are looking for a job — rose to 3,010,600 in September,” as per the numbers released in then-latest state jobs report. More than 18,000 people became active participants in the state’s workforce in September, said the report, though the unemployment rate in Colorado remains far below the national average.
