LPTexas Treasurer Candidates - Joe Burnes & Patrick Mitchell
The two gentlemen listed above are seeking the LPTexas Treasurer position. A brief bio approved by each candidate is shown below in alphabetical order by last name:
Joe Burnes
Protections need to be put in place to prevent possible embezzlement in future. Our books need to become GAAP compliant, and we need a yearly outside audit. These are the things I will work towards if elected. My BBAs from Baylor include one in Accounting and one in Entrepeneurship. My education along with my history as an entrepeneur give me the knoweldge and experience necessary to handle the job properly.
Patrick Mitchell
