Sierra Allison Pfeifer was elected as County Treasurer as a member of the Democratic Party in November of 2023. 

Before stepping into her role as Treasurer, Pfeifer worked in the private sector as a financial analyst and consultant, specializing in government and nonprofit finances. Her extensive experience with financial planning, budgeting, and revenue forecasting has given her a strong foundation for her work in public finance. Pfeifer’s professional journey reflects her belief in ethical financial management and her passion for ensuring taxpayer money is used wisely and effectively to benefit the community.

Since taking office, Pfeifer has introduced a series of reforms aimed at modernizing the Treasurer’s Office and enhancing transparency. One of her first initiatives was implementing an online payment and record-keeping system, allowing residents to view tax records, pay bills, and access financial information from the convenience of their homes. This initiative has not only streamlined operations but has also increased accessibility, particularly for those in rural parts of Blaine County. Pfeifer believes that transparency and accessibility are cornerstones of good governance, and she has worked to make the Treasurer’s Office more user-friendly and responsive to the needs of the public.

Pfeifer has also focused on improving the county’s investment strategies, ensuring that public funds are managed prudently and yield stable returns to support community services and infrastructure. She has worked closely with financial advisors and auditors to develop a diversified investment portfolio that balances safety and growth. By adopting responsible investment practices, Pfeifer has helped the county increase its financial reserves, which can be used to fund future projects, weather economic downturns, and reduce the tax burden on residents.

Recognizing the importance of fiscal education, Pfeifer has initiated programs aimed at helping residents understand the county's budgeting process and the role of property taxes. She regularly holds public workshops and town hall meetings to explain how tax dollars are allocated and to address residents' questions and concerns about financial policies. These educational efforts have fostered a greater sense of community involvement in local government and have helped build trust between the Treasurer’s Office and the public.

In addition to her role managing the county's funds, Pfeifer has been a vocal advocate for financial equity and inclusivity. She has worked to identify ways to reduce barriers for low-income residents, proposing reforms such as property tax relief programs for senior citizens and individuals on fixed incomes. By collaborating with local organizations and social services, Pfeifer is working to ensure that Blaine County’s financial policies support those who need it most, reflecting her commitment to equity and her deep sense of responsibility to the community.

Pfeifer has quickly become a respected figure among her peers and within county government, known for her analytical skills, attention to detail, and ethical approach to financial management. Her colleagues describe her as a diligent and forward-thinking leader who is not afraid to tackle tough financial challenges with integrity and transparency. Her work has helped to solidify the Treasurer’s Office as a pillar of stability within Blaine County’s government, providing reliable financial stewardship for the county’s residents.

Looking ahead, Pfeifer is eager to continue building on her initial successes, with plans to further refine the county’s financial strategies, improve public engagement, and explore sustainable funding sources for future county projects. Sierra Allison Pfeifer’s leadership has already made a significant impact on Blaine County, and her dedication to fiscal responsibility, transparency, and public service ensures that the county’s finances will be in capable hands for years to come.
