Steven Schetrom, of Baker, WV, has declared his candidacy for West Virginia State Treasurer in 2024. Schetrom, who has served as County Commissioner in Hardy County since January, 2021, is excited to continue his service to West Virginia as he pursues this position.

Schetrom was born and raised in Hardy County, WV. He graduated from Moorefield High School in 1995. Schetrom received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Shepherd University in 2003 and a Master’s in Business Administration, with Concentrations in Finance and Entrepreneurship, from Wake Forest University in 2008. He has worked as a Financial Advisor since 2008, and established his own Registered Investment Advisory firm, Legacy Financial, LLC, in 2010.

Schetrom resides in Baker, WV with his wife, Rachel, and two sons, Eli and Silas.

  • GROWTH--In pursuing this agenda, Schetrom will work to grow the Jumpstart Savings Plan, which was signed into law during the legislative session of 2021, and became available for users in July 2022. This program is similar to a 529 College Savings Plan, but allows people who wish to work in the trades—ranging from welding to cosmetology—to invest money for future purchases of tools, equipment, certifications, etc. This is a potentially great program that creates a means for more people to save toward future careers in the trades. Any investment signifies hope for the future, and Schetrom will work to grow this program in order to see more people in West Virginia prosper.
  • TRANSPARENCY-Schetrom maintains that the West Virginia State Treasurer has a powerful and unique role in guiding investment decisions related to the State's resources. At the most basic level, these investments represent the people's hope for the future. It is imperative that the Treasurer's Office maintains transparency regarding its investment decisions. The Office should utilize modern and efficient reporting systems, so that constituents are informed about the financial decisions of the State.-
  • RESPONSIBILITY--At the State Government level, the Treasurer's Office must be a tireless advocate for policies that protect citizens' rights. For example, when asset management companies enact policies that work to destroy the value of West Virginia's investments, the Treasurer's Office should create policies that prohibit investments from our State from being held by these institutions.
