What happens when a 25-year Chicago Mercantile Exchange trader decides to run for public office in one of the most important purple states in America?
In this episode of Futures Edge with Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino, former trading floor veteran Jeffrey Carter joins the show to explain why he’s running for Nevada State Treasurer — and why he believes the office should be run by finance professionals, not political placeholders.
With Nevada holding a $12 BILLION portfolio, Carter argues the Treasurer’s office should be apolitical, transparent, and focused on maximizing returns for taxpayers — not chasing politics, DEI mandates, or ESG agendas.
Inside this conversation:
- Why Nevada is a critical purple state in 2026
- How state treasurers manage billions in taxpayer assets
- Missed debt reduction opportunities in Nevada
- Why financial expertise should be required for the Treasurer’s office
- Government transparency and modernization
- 529 college savings programs — and how mismanagement can cost families
- Short-term interest rates, bond markets & public portfolios
- Incorporating businesses in Nevada vs. Delaware
- Crypto, AI, and the future of public finance
- Can capitalism still win from inside government?
Carter shares lessons from 40 years in finance, what he’s learned on the campaign trail, and why he believes professionals with real market experience need to step into public office.
If you care about fiscal responsibility, state-level politics, public finance, or the future of Nevada, this is a must-watch conversation.
