In the last week, Sherer In 2010 has been to Phenix City, Oneonta, Florence, and Spanish Fort, taking the campaign to the Wiregrass, the Appalachian foothills, the Tennessee Valley, and the Gulf Coast. It really has been amazing traveling our beautiful state as the seasons change.

Sherer In 2010 continues to advocate on behalf of PACT families, and the honoring of their 48,000 contracts for college tuition. The solutions that Sherer In 2010 has put forth in regards to PACT involve utilizing the Unclaimed Property Fund to infuse funding into PACT, stabilizing budgetary funding for higher education in an effort to stabilize tuition, reducing PACT operational costs, improving investment performance, and working with the Legislature and Governor to formulate a long-term financial solution for PACT.

Our recent events in Oneonta and Phenix City were Democratic Party events at which Sherer In 2010 stressed the need for Alabama to strengthening our local socioeconomic community by increasing the State’s investment in Alabama’s community banks. By supporting our state’s community banks, we support their local efforts to encourage job growth, small business and entrepreneurial development, and home ownership.

I believe it is incumbent that the Democratic Party chooses a party nominee that reflects Democratic values of community development, equal economic opportunity, and wealth creation.

I view the Treasurer’s office as one that diligently manages Alabama’s investments, securely guard our savings, and supports efforts to develop the economic structure and opportunity of our state.

We will continue to advocate for what is morally and legally appropriate for PACT families, and we will continue to make Alabamians aware that more can be done from the Treasury to make our state better.

I am committed to fixing the problems from the last eight years that have emanated from the Treasurer’s office, and completing the hard work that is already expected from the Treasury over the next four years.
