Nick was Chairman and CEO of the Arizona College of Nursing, which he led to become Arizona’s largest nursing school, a leading nursing college in the nation, and a significant contributor to solving our state’s and nation’s critical need for nurses. During his tenure, the Arizona College grew twenty times larger from a single campus to now twenty-four in fourteen states, while over 90% of the graduates passed their licensing exams on their first try and over 90% found jobs as nurses. Ernst & Young recently recognized Nick as a Pacific Southwest Regional Winner and National Finalist for its Entrepreneur of the Year award.
Several years ago, Nick faced a serious health scare that resulted in a ten-hour surgery that doctors told him he may not survive. In the weeks leading up to his surgery he had time to reflect and pray and realized that while he had been successful, he wanted to do more to help others. It’s why he’s stepping up now: he knows Arizona is only scratching the surface of its potential and the unmatched experience and expertise he’ll bring to the State Treasurer’s office will deliver a return on investment for all Arizonans. As Treasurer, Nick will ensure our state’s finances are run like those of the successful businesses he’s led – so that cities, towns, and school districts have the resources they need now and that our state is investing wisely to support future generations and families, just like yours.”
Carolyn’s note: I thought Nick already spoke at DGT on June 22, but since he’s scheduled for July 6, I guess he must have postponed. He’s unopposed in the Az primary, will face off with Republican nominee in November. This is open seat as Az Treasurer Kimberly Yee is termed out, running for Az Superintendent of Public instruction.
