Biography
McIntire was born on April 9, 1953 in Bluffton, Ohio. He earned a BA from Macalester College, a MA from the University of Michigan, and a PhD from the University of Washington. He began his career working for Hubert Humphrey in the U.S. Senate and later served as a public finance advisor to Gov. Gardner.
Before his election to treasurer, he ran an economic consulting practice, served on the faculty of the University of Washington's Evans School of Public Affairs, and worked as director of UW's Fiscal Policy Center.[2]

Political career
Washington Treasurer (2009 - Present)
McIntire has served as Washington Treasurer since 2009. He was elected to a second term in 2012.
Washington State House of Representatives (1999 - 2008)
During his tenure in the Washington State House of Representatives, McIntire served on the Capital Budget committee, Joint Administrative Rules committee, and the Finance committee.
In his first term, he sponsored legislation making identity theft a crime - the first of its kind. He also worked closely with then-attorney general Christine Gregoire on legislation to protect financial privacy.[2]
Elections
2012
McIntire won re-election in 2012.
It appeared for a while that he would skate through both the primary and general election completely unopposed.[3] Then, for the first time in three decades, a statewide candidate cleared the 1% vote rule for top two primary write-ins, earning 3.4% of the primary vote, to compete in the general election. The candidate, a conservative Republican from Bonney Lake named Sharon Hanek, challenged McIntire in the November general election, but was ultimately defeated by McIntire.[4] The general election took place on November 6, 2012.
