SALT LAKE CITY — Utah State Treasurer David Damschen announced Monday he will step down from his elected position later this month to lead the Utah Housing Corporation.
Damschen, who was re-elected in November, will leave office on April 30 after serving as the state treasurer since 2015, state officials said.
"I am grateful for the opportunity I have had to serve as treasurer of our great state," Damschen said in a statement. "It has been an honor and a privilege to work alongside other state leaders to ensure Utah remains a leader in the nation for its broad fiscal and economic strength, to provide resources to empower Utahns to achieve financial and economic success and to protect individual property rights."
