Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Martin Quezada (D)

My opponent has used the State Treasurer’s office as a political platform to leverage a run for higher office, to Tweet out her extreme anti-choice views, and to pick and choose her political favorites to invest in–as your Treasurer I will work on behalf of Arizonans and use all available information to help put money back in the pockets of taxpayers.

The people of Arizona deserve someone who believes that their taxpayer dollars aren’t just numbers on a spreadsheet to move around to advance a political partisan agenda. These dollars represent your values, they represent your future, and they represent the things that we care about in Arizona.

The state treasurer earns a full-time salary paid by taxpayers — our current state treasurer isn’t working full-time to earn it. I’m committed to working full-time to ensure Arizonans get more money back in their pockets.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Martin Quezada (D)

Transparency – I will bring ethics, professionalism and transparency to the Treasurer’s Office by being an advocate for the responsible use of all taxpayer dollars and by creating an investment portfolio that benefits taxpayers first, not special interests.

Education – I’m committed to prioritizing an investment strategy that maximizes income for schools as well as prioritizing financial literacy efforts to ensure everyone has the resources to succeed and the opportunity to prosper.

Investing in our Future – Our Arizonan values start with the responsible management and investment of our taxpayer dollars. I will ensure our investments reflect those values, rather than serving special interests.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Martin Quezada (D)

Safety. This is the most important principle I will abide by when it comes to investing Arizonans’ hard-earned tax dollars. I will welcome any and all evaluations of risk in creating our investment portfolio. We cannot afford to waste taxpayer dollars by refusing to evaluate risk.

Evaluation. I will make sure the rate of return on investments (also known as the yield) is at the highest profit margin possible. It is the responsibility of this office to give taxpayers the highest rate of return possible. I will not make financial decisions based off of personal politics.

Sound executive management. The State Treasurer earns a full-time salary paid by taxpayers - our current State Treasurer isn’t working full-time to earn it. I’m committed to working full-time to ensure Arizonans get more money back in their pockets.

Statements about ESG investing

See also: Statements about ESG investing by State Financial Officer candidates on the November 8, 2022 ballot

• Martin Quezada (D), candidate for Arizona treasurer

"Our shared values of healthcare for all, a strong public education, affordable housing, and protecting our planet start with the responsible management and investment of our taxpayer dollars. Martín will ensure our investments reflect those values, rather than serving special interests."

• Kimberly Yee (R), candidate for Arizona treasurer

"Yee believes that environmental, social, and governance standards, which are used by socially conscious investors to screen potential investments, are 'inappropriate for the investment room.' Her office recently adopted a policy that it would not take ESG into consideration in any investment decision."

"I don’t believe that we should mix politics with the taxpayers’ money. The statement that we adopted ensures that our office will prioritize safely investing these dollars over politically motivated agendas."
