A proven business leader, fiscal steward, and job creator ready to safeguard the hard-earned dollars of every Kansan.

As Chief Executive Officer of Engage Insurance Group, Inc., he leads a risk-management firm that helps families and businesses safeguard what they have worked a lifetime to build. He is running for Kansas State Treasurer to bring that same discipline, accountability, and results-driven leadership to the state's finances.

A Proven Business Leader

Juan C Luengo has worked in risk management since 2007, building a reputation for crafting customized financial-protection strategies for businesses in some of the most complex and demanding industries — construction, commercial real estate, manufacturing, auto services, restaurants, and professional services. Where others see complexity, Juan delivers clarity, structure, and accountability.

Named CEO of Engage Insurance Group in January 2021, he led the company through a complete transformation — the kind of turnaround that demands the very skills a State Treasurer relies on: prudent stewardship, sound investment of resources, and an unwavering focus on results.

Rooted in the Community

Juan believes leadership is measured by service. He is a champion for small businesses — particularly minority- and women-owned enterprises (MBE and WBE) — helping them grow, compete, and create jobs across Kansas. He volunteers with the Turner School of Construction Management, teaching best practices in liability protection, loss control, and bonding to the next generation of builders and entrepreneurs. Fluent in both English and Spanish, Juan connects directly with the communities he serves and is committed to making the Treasurer's office accessible to every Kansan.

He gives his time and leadership across the region, serving on the Builders' Association (a chapter of the Associated General Contractors), and the Board of Directors of Mental Health America of the Heartland. He previously served on the Greater Kansas City Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and the Kansas City Regional Association of REALTORS®.

Why Juan for Kansas Treasurer

The Kansas State Treasurer is the guardian of the people's money — entrusted with managing state funds, overseeing banking and cash management, investing public dollars responsibly, returning unclaimed property to its rightful owners, and strengthening the programs that help Kansas families save for college and build their future. It is a job for someone who has actually done this work, and Juan C Luengo has spent his entire career doing exactly that.

Kansans deserve a Treasurer who understands money the way they do — someone who has met a payroll, managed risk, invested wisely, partnered with banks and credit unions, balanced the books, and protected other people's money as if it were his own. Juan C Luengo brings the financial expertise, the business discipline, and the servant's heart to guard every taxpayer dollar and put the people of Kansas first. Where the Treasurer's office has too often been a place where money simply passes through, Juan will make it a place where Kansas plans ahead.

Experience leadership that delivers.
