A Clear Plan to Protect Lake County’s Financial Future

Anthony Manuel isn’t running on theory — he’s running on experience.

With over 25 years in banking and financial services, his priorities are built on real-world knowledge of compliance, risk management, and financial accountability.

This isn’t a political stepping stone — it’s a financial management role that demands discipline, integrity, and results.

Priority 1

Taxpayer Advocacy

Anthony believes protecting public funds starts with strong systems and disciplined oversight.

What this means:

Strengthening internal financial controls
Maintaining strict compliance standards
Safeguarding public funds through proven oversight practices

Taxpayers deserve confidence that their money is protected — every step of the way.

Priority 2

Modernization & Efficiency

Efficiency saves time — and money.

Anthony will bring private-sector banking practices into the Treasurer’s Office to improve how systems operate.

Key focus areas:

Reducing or eliminating unnecessary payment processing fees
Modernizing treasury management systems
Implementing proven financial industry best practices

The goal: A faster, more efficient system that works for residents — not against them.

Priority 3

Community Engagement

The Treasurer’s Office should serve every resident with dignity and professionalism.

Anthony is committed to making the office more accessible and responsive to the community.

Planned initiatives:

Community satellite offices with expanded weekend availability
Promoting financial literacy and stability
Building public/private partnerships that strengthen Lake County
Creating a Lake County Treasurer Internship Program

Because service matters — and accessibility builds trust.

Priority 4

Transparency & Accountability

Taxpayers deserve clear, accessible, and timely information.

Anthony’s approach is simple: make financial operations easier to understand and hold them to the highest standards.

What that looks like:

Modern communication tools for better public access
Open and accountable government operations
Improved access to financial reporting

No confusion. No guesswork. Just transparency.

Why Experience Matters

The science of compliance, financial controls, and fiduciary responsibility has shaped Anthony Manuel’s 25+ year career.

The Treasurer’s Office is not a role for on-the-job training.

Lake County deserves leadership that is ready on day one.
