Elizabeth Steiner Statement on State Treasurer Victory

Treasurer-elect Elizabeth Steiner released the following statement after multiple sources called the general election for State Treasurer in her favor:

“Tonight, I’ve broken the glass ceiling as Oregon’s first woman State Treasurer. I could only do this with extraordinary help from so many people over the past fifteen months – family, friends, staff, consultants, and volunteers – this is a win shared by all those who believe in the idea that every Oregonian should have the tools they need to reach financial security,” said Steiner.

“In a world where so many believe in either/or, I believe in both/and. We can find a path forward to grow our pension fund while simultaneously reducing its carbon footprint. We can protect our state lands for wildlife, water, and recreation while respecting the long heritage of our natural resources and agricultural industries. As your next State Treasurer I commit to bringing many perspectives together to find both/and solutions that will benefit people across our great state. Please join me as we work to make Oregonians the most financially secure, healthiest people in the nation.”

Treasurer-elect Steiner makes history as the first woman ever elected Oregon State Treasurer.
