As a small business owner and attorney, I've won lawsuits against government agencies on behalf of taxpayers. I'll promote fiscal sanity in California by eliminating bloated public pensions, cutting taxes, eliminating nanny state regulations, supporting free enterprise and job creation.

The national recession and sub-prime mortgage disaster hit California harder than most states and left our economy badly damaged. Times like these require strong, effective leadership. As your Treasurer, I'm managing $65 billion in state investments. Many states lost millions when financial markets collapsed, we didn't lose a penny. Instead, we earned solid returns, adding billions to California's investment fund and helping preserve vital services. I've challenged Wall Street rating agencies and investment banks, and won big savings for California taxpayers. Managing state investments in road and school construction through the worst credit market in our history has required bargaining hard for the lowest possible rates for taxpayers. We're doing that job, funding 100,000 good-paying private construction jobs and revenues for our businesses. The last time California had a genuinely balanced budget was more than 10 years ago, when I was the State Senate leader. As Treasurer, I've forcefully and repeatedly told the Legislature and Governor that California needs an honestly balanced, on-time budget—every year. No IOUs. No delays paying schools or local governments. Spending only within our revenues. My record shows you can count on me to keep these basic fiscal promises: Your tax dollars will be invested wisely and protected from foolish economic risks. Your State's debt will be managed carefully and your bond dollars spent the way voters intended. This Treasurer will always speak out against fiscal recklessness in Sacramento and rip-offs by unscrupulous special interests. I ask for your consideration when you vote.

California is in trouble. Decades of wasteful spending and fiscal mismanagement have left our state nearly bankrupt. We need to clean house in Sacramento before we can get our financial house in order. Coming from a background in business and finance, I am appalled at the careless way our money is treated in Sacramento. State government is wasteful and the legislature is dominated by special interests. Every interest has a lobbyist and a voice. As your Treasurer, I will make sure you have a voice. The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association endorses me for Treasurer and I've been given an "A" rating from the California Taxpayers Association. My priorities include: protecting your tax dollars from bad investments; reducing wasteful government spending; lowering taxes on families and small businesses; and holding government accountable for every dollar it spends. My qualifications include a background in business, finance and local government. Prior to entering public service, I served seven years as an investment executive at a major investment banking firm. I am a graduate of UCLA. I'm a founder of the California Women's Leadership Association and served on the boards of: National Association of Women Business Owners; American Cancer Society; and South Coast Medical Center Foundation. Yesterday's politicians have proven they cannot fix today's problems. Sacramento needs new ideas and a fresh approach. I pledge to hold government accountable and to be your voice in Sacramento. I would be honored to receive your vote. Please visit my website, www.MimiWalters.com. Thank you.
