In 2014 Deb Goldberg ran for State Treasurer to give every woman, every man and every family the financial power and skills they need to get ahead in today’s tough economy. Economic empowerment, economic security, and economic stability have been her personal mission and inspire her in everything she does.Since elected, Deb has redefined the role of Treasurer. Drawing upon her expertise and experience in both the private and public sectors, Deb has promoted fiscal policies and programs to ensure opportunity for all. Her desire to bring commonsense business principles to benefit the public good comes from lessons she learned her entire life.
Deb has leveraged the Treasurer’s office and the pension fund to fight for greater diversity on corporate boards and executive positions. It has been proven that corporations that have more women, people of color, immigrants, and members of the LGBTQ community are more innovative, creative, and very importantly more profitable. Deb knows from her private sector experience that companies that invest in their people and reflect the vibrancy of our communities, are far more successful, resulting in a better economy for everyone.
Deb has lead by example having the most diverse office in state government. She will continue to find ways for the Treasurer’s office to promote diversity and equal opportunity both in government and the private sector.
