I am honored to be your choice for Illinois State Treasurer, and I look forward to serving the people of Illinois.  As your chief investment officer, I will draw not just upon my professional financial experience, but also the talent and wisdom of business and community leaders, civic activists and every day people.  Working together, we can make wise investments that not only earn solid returns, but also grow our economy.  Together, we will create good paying jobs, stronger communities, and a more prosperous and sustainable future.
