California LAO forecasts $7 billion surplus for fiscal year
Bond Buyer
Dear Fellow Californian,
California faces financial challenges that can only be solved through innovation, experience, and commitment. I'm running for Treasurer to make sure our state works for everyone.
Many parts of our great state still lag behind in economic recovery, the gap between the wealthiest and poorest Californians continues to grow, and the growth in our cities must be effectively managed to ensure shared prosperity. The Treasurer plays a key role: investing California's money in a socially responsible manner and ensuring our state is on sound financial footing.
As Treasurer, I will make sure we have access to the capital necessary to complete the projects Californians deserve while also helping to create good jobs and keep our economy growing. This includes securing the financing necessary for California’s infrastructure projects; transportation, public schools, housing, water quality, and pollution reduction.
I am a Certified Public Accountant, former Chair and current member of the Board of Equalization, former member and Speaker pro Tempore of the California State Assembly, and I have served as a Supervisor for the County of San Francisco. As a CPA with a Masters in Taxation, I have the financial knowledge and experience to ensure California stays an economic leader and economic powerhouse, continuing to invest in the people and small businesses that are the foundation for California's economic success. I need no introduction to the economic structure of California; I'll be ready to hit the ground running on Day One!
Please join our campaign today!
In Peace and Friendship,
Fiona Ma, CPA
