Fiona Ma | DEMOCRATIC

I'm running for re-election as State Treasurer because California's economic recovery requires a proven problem solver with a track record of getting things done. I'll continue to fight for people across our great state by investing in housing, schools, hospitals, infrastructure, first responders, environmental protection, green energy and transportation. During my first term, we refinanced state bonds to save taxpayers more than $5 billion over the next 20 years. Legislators from both parties have praised our oversight of COVID-19 funds which prevented hundreds of millions of dollars from potential fraud and abuse. Last year we processed $3.2 trillion in banking transactions and oversaw a record budget surplus of $85 billion that went to create new jobs by funding innovative projects. We approved more affordable housing units than ever in our state's history and increased our first-time homebuyer program for families and veterans. We helped more Californians save for college/apprenticeship programs and retirement. This year, we will launch CalKIDS to help our children thrive by increasing access to higher education. I have been a Certified Public Accountant since 1992 and hold a B.S. in Accounting, M.S. in Taxation and an MBA in Finance. I have the financial knowledge and experience to ensure California remains an economic powerhouse while moving toward a more sustainable and affordable future for all residents across the state. I will continue to safeguard our tax dollars, invest wisely and make sure government works with accountability and transparency. I would be honored to earn your vote. Thank you.
