Meier Files for Re-Election After Investments Become Wyoming’s Top Revenue Source

Wyoming State Treasurer Curt Meier formally filed for re-election on Monday, May 18, seeking a third term after eight years of delivering record-setting financial results for the state of Wyoming. Meier was accompanied by his wife, Charlene, as is their tradition, and submitted his filing at the Wyoming Secretary of State’s Office, marking the official start of his re-election campaign.

A constitutional conservative and veteran public servant, Meier said his decision to run again is grounded in both his record of success and the responsibility to continue protecting Wyoming’s financial future.

“Serving as State Treasurer has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” Meier said. “I take seriously the oath I swore to uphold and defend the Wyoming and United States Constitutions, and I remain committed to protecting the people and the resources that make this state strong.”

During Meier’s tenure, Wyoming’s investment strategy has delivered historic results. According to the Consensus Revenue Estimating Group, the state generated $1.857 billion in investment earnings across state funds in the most recent fiscal year — an all-time record.

For the first time in Wyoming history, investment income became the state’s largest source of revenue, surpassing traditional mineral revenues as well as sales and use taxes.

Earnings from the Permanent Wyoming Mineral Trust Fund alone outpaced general fund tax collections by a wide margin. Meier said the milestone reflects a disciplined, conservative approach to managing state assets. “This didn’t happen by accident,” Meier said. “It’s the result of steady, responsible investment strategies and a commitment to making every dollar work for the people of Wyoming.”

In addition to record investment performance, Meier’s office has prioritized returning money directly to Wyoming residents through the Unclaimed Property Division. In fiscal year 2025, the office returned a historic $41.3 million to nearly 6,000 rightful owners, the highest total in state history.

“Those dollars belong to the people,” Meier said. “Getting that money back into the hands of Wyoming families is one of the most important things we do.”

Meier said his campaign will focus on continuing the strong financial stewardship that has positioned Wyoming for long-term success, while remaining grounded in the constitutional principles that guide his service.

“In uncertain times, Wyoming needs steady leadership that understands both the responsibility and the opportunity of managing the people’s money,” Meier said. “I’m running to make sure we continue building a future where our kids and grandkids can live, work and raise their families right here at home.”
