National Executive Vice President NAGE and Attorney for DOR/CSE. I am running for reelection to the State Retirement Board to continue being “your” representative on the Board. With my experience on the Board, I will continue to protect our pension fund during these volatile economic times and work to defeat detrimental pension reform legislation. Now, more than ever, we need a voice to protect our pension from legislation designed to take away our hard earned benefits. I ask for your vote to continue to be “your” voice and to fight to protect your pension. Thank you.
