One little-known office in San Diego County serves as the revenue engine for all of county government.<\/span><\/p>\n

The treasurer-tax collector takes in about $9 billion in property taxes every year \u2014 a big responsibility, as the county relies on property taxes for about 20% of its revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n

But this year, for the first time since 2002, the name Dan McAllister will not be appearing on the ballot.<\/span><\/p>\n

McAllister, the county\u2019s longtime former treasurer, stewarded the office for more than two decades. <\/span>He retired last August and died a little over four months later after what his family described as a lingering illness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, four candidates are vying to become McAllister\u2019s permanent successor, and they\u2019re injecting political attacks into the race for a position that\u2019s ostensibly nonpartisan.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s Republican Supervisor Joel Anderson, who faces term limits on the Board of Supervisors. Shirley Nakawatase, a Republican, an accountant and former Imperial Beach mayoral candidate, is also seeking the job. So is former Oceanside Treasurer Victor Roy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also in the running is Larry Cohen, a Democrat and longtime congressional aide whom the Board of Supervisors appointed last year to serve out the rest of McAllister\u2019s term. He\u2019s now seeking a full term.<\/span><\/p>\n

In interviews with The San Diego Union-Tribune, Cohen and Anderson named clear shortcomings at the office they want to work on improving if they\u2019re elected, while Nakawatase and Roy pitched themselves as steady hands for a position they describe as a fiduciary steward for county finances.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

In all, the job of county treasurer is less a policymaking role than a management one. <\/span>The office has a $27 million budget and 125 employees, who work not only on tax collection but also on the county\u2019s $18 billion investment pool and deferred compensation program, a retirement-account program county employees can opt into.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the race, Cohen, 56, sees an advantage in already holding the position and having had the chance to learn the minutiae of the job since being appointed in December.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think I\u2019m doing exactly what the residents of this county expect of their treasurer-tax collector \u2014 not partisan, do your job,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cohen was previously chief of staff to Rep. Juan Vargas; before that, he worked in the biotech and pharmaceutical industry. He <\/span>says that past experience in the private sector has helped him pinpoint a big need for his office \u2014 more staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Although the county\u2019s tax base has grown by billions of dollars in the last 25 years, the treasurer\u2019s office has roughly the same number of employees now as it did in 2001.<\/span><\/p>\n

That has a practical impact on county property tax collection, Cohen said.<\/span><\/p>\n

While 75% of people pay their taxes online, the rest pay by check and sometimes cash. <\/span>That means hundreds of thousands of checks flow into the treasurer\u2019s office, especially ahead of November and February deadlines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many checks arrive in envelopes issued by the treasurer\u2019s office, which get processed by a machine and clear in a day or two. <\/span>But Cohen estimates another 100,000 to 150,000 arrive in regular envelopes, which must be opened by hand and reviewed individually. Those checks can take up to 60 days to clear, Cohen said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo robot can do that,\u201d Cohen said, adding that if a check goes uncashed, that means it isn\u2019t earning a yield in the county\u2019s investment pool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a proven fact that I get money quicker, it\u2019s invested for longer,\u201d Cohen said. \u201cWhen you\u2019re talking about billions of dollars, it\u2019s a very simple financial calculation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

With the county about to kick off annual budget talks, Cohen will soon have a chance to try to boost his staffing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But neither his five months in the job nor his desire to staff up have kept Anderson, who\u2019s been a county supervisor since 2020, from attacking him over the long wait times for cashing checks.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an interview, Anderson called Cohen a \u201cbonehead\u201d who\u2019s \u201closing millions of dollars in interest\u201d for the county by not clearing checks faster. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s entirely up to that office. It\u2019s their failure,\u201d Anderson said. \u201cWe\u2019re losing money each and every day, and nobody seems to care except for me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In a political career that spanned four terms in the state Legislature before he was elected to two as a supervisor, Anderson said he\u2019s always been a problem-solver. He says his approach to the treasurer\u2019s office will be no different.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have a great relationship with my colleagues \u2014 a great relationship with others regardless of party,\u201d Anderson said. \u201cBecause at the end of the day, people know they can count on me to fix the problem.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Anderson said he initially learned of check-cashing wait times and raised his concerns with McAllister while he was still in office. But after the former treasurer fell ill, nothing changed, Anderson said.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said he needs to get into the job before he can know with certainty what is causing delays in cashing checks. But he hypothesized it\u2019s likely a mix of staffing shortages \u2014 echoing Cohen\u2019s complaint \u2014 and old technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anderson has two years left in his supervisor term, and he\u2019s quick to list what he says are his bipartisan achievements as a supervisor, like the creation of a secure parking lot for homeless people in San Diego\u2019s Grantville neighborhood.<\/span><\/p>\n

But if voters this fall pass a proposed overhaul of the county\u2019s charter, Anderson could have a shot at another term on the Board of Supervisors. The ballot measure, if passed, would extend term limits for supervisor \u2014 meaning he could hypothetically run for a third term in 2028.<\/p>\n

Asked why he\u2019d give up being a supervisor, Anderson pointed to the job he\u2019s running for now.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of good people that can be a supervisor,\u201d he said. \u201cWe don\u2019t have any good candidates for county treasurer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

If elected treasurer, Anderson said he\u2019d serve only one term. He declined to say whether he\u2019d consider running for a third term as a supervisor if he loses the treasurer\u2019s race in November.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even with his one-term pledge, Anderson thinks it \u201cwon\u2019t take me more than four years\u201d to solve issues in the treasurer\u2019s office.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne term to fix it, and then I\u2019m done. I\u2019m retiring,\u201d said Anderson, 65.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cohen called Anderson\u2019s critiques of him a political attack and said he\u2019s confident voters will see through it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Delays in cashing certain checks has been a decades-long problem for the treasurer\u2019s office, he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cEight months ago before Dan McAllister said he was going to retire, Joel Anderson had no interest in this office,\u201d Cohen said, arguing Anderson is running only because he might be termed out as a supervisor in two years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSuddenly, he has a profound interest in saying this office isn\u2019t being run well,\u201d Cohen said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike others in the race, <\/span>Nakawatase, 66, comes to the campaign as an experienced accountant. She\u2019s also a longtime community leader in Imperial Beach. <\/span><\/p>\n

In 2022, she ran for mayor of Imperial Beach but lost to Paloma Aguirre, now a county supervisor. She\u2019s not the only one in her family involved in local politics \u2014 her daughter, Mariko Nakawatase, serves on the Imperial Beach City Council.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an interview, Shirley Nakawatase said she first became interested in the job following McAllister\u2019s resignation.<\/span><\/p>\n

After learning about the office from McAllister over the years, she says there\u2019s a need to improve its outreach in the community. If she\u2019s elected, she says the office will start holding town halls to help keep taxpayers informed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHow do you know what services are available? How do you know that you can get assistance before you need assistance?\u201d Nakawatase said. \u201cThere is no outlet to get that information out, but I\u2019m going to be creating it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When supervisors appointed Cohen last fall, Nakawatase was among a pool of candidates vying for the job. <\/span>The Republican contends the selection came down to Democratic supervisors picking a political ally. <\/span>Cohen has said experience and merit led to his appointment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou should be looking for the person best suited for the job, and I believe I am the best person,\u201d Nakawatase said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Roy, who began serving as Oceanside\u2019s treasurer in 2018 but lost re-election in 2024, also thinks politics should be taken out of the job as treasurer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want any kind of political pressures,\u201d said Roy, who declined to give his age. \u201cI think the office for the county treasurer should be a neutral position, free of political party pressures.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Roy considers his tenure as Oceanside\u2019s treasurer a success, and he wants to replicate it at the county.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy No. 1 concern was to make sure that our public funds were safe, that we were getting proper yield and that we had the liquidity to maintain our city budget,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

But his time at Oceanside was marked by controversy when in<\/span> 2022\u00a0he was accused of looking at nude images on a computer at a local library the prior year.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a report filed by the library\u2019s manager, Roy was looking at a magazine containing \u201cfull nudity\u201d in the library, and even after staff told him to stop, he continued to download the images to a hard drive.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Roy\u2019s telling, a constituent had previously complained to him that artwork depicting naked people was accessible on library computers, and he had then gone to the library to confirm it for himself.<\/p>\n

A city-ordered investigation ultimately found his explanation wasn\u2019t credible.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an interview, Roy called the controversy \u201ca bunch of nonsense\u201d drummed up by his political opponents, though conceded, \u201cI guess I made a mistake.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t in the public library officially as the treasurer. I was there as a private citizen and exercising my right to look at the computers in any possible way,\u201d Roy said. \u201cThat shouldn\u2019t be an issue during the election for the county treasurer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Cohen holds a clear fundraising advantage based on campaign finance disclosures filed late last month. <\/span>Since December, he\u2019s raised $320,000 \u2014 including $99,000 in loans he\u2019s made to his own campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anderson has raised $44,000 but also has about $242,000 in other campaign committees he controls. <\/span>Nakawatase has raised $57,000, about $41,000 of that in loans made to her campaign, and <\/span>the only money Roy\u2019s campaign has raised is a $30,000 loan from himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cohen has also spent the most this cycle \u2014 about $110,000, with $123,000 still on hand as of mid-April, according to disclosures. Anderson had spent nearly $38,000 and had about $17,000 on hand, Nakawatase spent $32,000 with $6,000 still on hand and Roy spent about $22,000 with $8,000 still on hand.<\/p>\n
