Biography
Steffens currently serves as the deputy treasurer of tax in the Dubuque County treasurer’s office. After earning a two-year accounting degree from Northeast Iowa Community College, Steffens started her career in the treasurer’s office as a clerk, a role she held for 11 years before transitioning to work as a clerk in the county’s zoning department.
In 2019, she was promoted to zoning administrative assistant, a position she held for nearly three years before moving back to the treasurer’s office three months ago to take the deputy treasurer position.
As a longtime veteran of the treasurer’s office, Steffens said she has the first-hand knowledge and experience that make her the right fit for the position.
“I know the procedures, and I know how the office runs,” she said. “I would step right in with no interruption and have a good background.”
Steffens said the county treasurer’s office is currently working efficiently and meeting the needs of Dubuque County residents. If elected, she primarily would focus on maintaining that level and quality of service.
She said she also would prioritize working with clerks and other staff at the office to make changes if they are needed.
“I want to keep the workflow going,” Steffens said. “We are efficient and caught up already, and I want to keep things running smoothly.”
