Education

Kenneth A. Simpler is an American politician. He was Delaware State Treasurer from 2015 to 2019. He is the most recent Republican to win a statewide race in Delaware.

Education

Simpler attended high school at St. Andrew's School in Middletown, Delaware. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in political economy at Princeton University.[3] While in college, he was charged in an incident where 45 students were sent to the Princeton infirmary or local hospital for alcohol-induced medical problems, including one student who was in a coma for 24 hours. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail for his role in hosting parties where alcohol was served to minors.[4]

Simpler earned a Master of Business Administration and a Juris Doctor from the University of Chicago. He was owner and chief financial officer of Seaboard Hotels and managing director at Citadel LLC. He worked as a corporate attorney at Kirkland & Ellis and has served on the board of directors of Draper Holdings, the parent company of WBOC and Fox 21.[3]

While serving as Delaware State Treasurer, Simpler enrolled at the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy & Administration at the University of Delaware to pursue a Master of Public Administration. After leaving office, he completed the degree in February 2020.[5]

Political career

Simpler was elected Delaware State Treasurer on November 4, 2014, and took office on January 6, 2015.[6] In the 2018 elections, he was defeated in his reelection campaign by Democrat Colleen Davis.[7] His defeat was one of several losses for prominent Republicans in Delaware in 2018[7][8] and as of 2023 establishes him as the most recent Republican to serve statewide.
