| Info | Rano Singh has lived in Arizona with her husband and family for over twenty five years. She is a community college teacher and small business owner supporting the biotechnology industry. Rano Singh regards her most important accomplishment in her life to be the raising of her three children, and she believes there is nothing more important than securing a safe, prosperous future for all of Arizona's families.
Rano Singh first served Arizona when she joined then Attorney General Janet Napolitano's Hate Crimes Task Force in the difficult days after the 9-11 attacks. In 2002 she was appointed by Governor Napolitano to the Citizens Finance Review Commission, where she served with other Arizona leaders to chart a fiscal course for Arizona's future economy.
Rano has tirelessly given her time and efforts to supporting community projects that address the concerns and hopes of Arizonans. She has led non-profit organizations that have donated tens of thousands of dollars to those in need. She has chaired volunteer organizations promoting tolerance and justice and been tapped by Republicans and Democrats alike to serve Arizona. Rano's honesty and integrity has always been a hallmark of her style. In her career, her integrity has been described as "unparalleled".
She understands the importance of accountability and transparency in fiscal management and public service; and she understands the needs of the Arizona community. She is very proud of her neutral, non-partisan approach, and her ability to work well with all people. She believes that is an essential characteristic of a good leader.
As Arizona Treasurer, Rano Singh will manage the taxpayer's money effectively, eliminating inefficiencies and waste. She will work to bring reform to the office, to place the Arizona Treasurer's office among the nation's leaders in financial management in the public sector.
As state Treasurer, she will always make prudent and safe investments, safeguarding the peoples' money first and foremost.
Working with the legislature and local governments, she will propose delivering a ten-year fiscal plan to promote investment strategies that will deliver the scale and quality of capital needed to support the state's obligations, it's growing economy, and necessary improvements in services to Arizona citizens.
Rano Singh proposes that long-term investment is needed to prepare our state and country for the challenges of the future. She strongly believes that science and innovation are key to ensuring Arizona's competitiveness and success in the knowledge driven global economy. She knows that it is in our self-interest to advance the new industries such as the clean energy industries that can transform energy use and production. Unless we make these investments, there are dire implications for economic growth and employment, and for release from our dependence on foreign oil.
Rano Singh will immediately work to restore integrity, dignity, and trust to the office of the Arizona State Treasurer. There is a desperate need for professional and ethical leadership to restore stability to an office that is currently in turmoil.
Rano Singh is a citizen politician, and a Clean Elections Candidate, who is not beholden or affiliated with any special interests groups or individuals. Rano Singh will bring accountability, transparency, and an open door policy remaining faithful to the people of Arizona at all times.
Rano Singh was awarded the Bachelor of Science in Education degree, with honors from the University of Warwick, England, and a Master of Arts in Organization Management from the University of Phoenix.
