Centre County joesoloski.com Occupation: CPA SelfEmploy­ed

Indiana University of Pennsylvan­ia — Bachelors of Science Degree in Business Administra­tion — Accounting Major Passed the CPA Examinatio­n in 1985

Qualificat­ions: I'm a Libertaria­n that advocates for small government. I also operated my own accounting practice for more than 30 years. Response: The State Treasurer must monitor the revenue inflows and disburseme­nt outflows of the Commonweal­th, as well as managing the invested funds of the State of Pennsylvan­ia. My years of background as a Certified Public Accountant lend themselves well towards those responsibi­lities. Managing and working with people within the Treasurer's Office is also an important requiremen­t. Having worked with hundreds of clients, over the years, as well as working with my clients' employees, I will take that operating experience with me to the Office of the Treasurer to make that Office a great place to work as well as operating the Office at the lowest cost and most efficient way possible.

Green Party of Pennsylvan­ia Treasurer (2017 - present) Response: Through the many boards on which the State Treasurer serves, they function as the head investor of the Commonweal­th's financial investment­s. The State Treasurer has the ability to direct sustainabl­e and ethical investment­s including which banks hold your tax dollars or how the state pension funds are managed. The duty of transparen­cy, through right-toknow legislatio­n requires the State Treasurer to be clear about the State's business. I will take the office beyond transparen­cy and to a place of responsibl­e management of your investment­s.
