Overbeck has served on Fort Collins City Council since 2013 and has been a licensed Commodity Trading Advisor by the National Futures Association since 1982, working with financial and agricultural commodities. He has worked with institutional investors, and held memberships on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Chicago Board of Trade, and the Minneapolis Grain Exchange.

While on Council Bob has served on the Downtown Development Authority, Finance Committee, Colorado Municipal League Policy Committee, the Council for Race, Equity and Leadership with the National League of Cities, the Election Code Committee, Legislative Review Committee, Library Trustee Selection Committee, and the North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Council. Overbeck also serves as Chair of the Poudre Heritage Alliance.

Bob is uniquely qualified for the role of Larimer County Assessor given the challenges we face throughout our county around affordable housing. Once elected, Bob intends to ensure a “higher standard of accountability, transparency and fairness to the taxpayers of Larimer County,” and believes that it is “time for a change in the office of the assessor.”
