🗓 The #NCPrimaryElection is just around the corner on March 5. If you are registered #NCRepublication or #NCUnaffiliated — I strongly urge you to fill in that bubble for Brad Briner. Brad is a Republication candidate for the office of NC State Treasurer. In lay terms, the treasurer oversees managing the state's finances and investments. This role includes (among other thing) the crucial job of leading NC's: ✅ Retirement & Pension System Management ✅ State Health Plan ✅ Investment Management ✅ State Banking, Debt Issuance and Management Why Brad Briner? 1️⃣ He's one of the smartest guys I know. I met him at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was a Morehead-Cain Foundation Scholar. After college, he earned a Harvard Business School #MBA and began a career that included managing billionaire Michael Bloomberg's investments for over a decade. 2️⃣ He loves #NorthCarolina, and dedicates much of his "spare time" to UNC, including as a member of the Board of Trustees. He and his wife and four kids live in #ChapelHill. 3️⃣ He has a vision to make money for North Carolina — and he has the experience to backup his plan. As the attached article explains, Brad criticizes the current conservative investment strategy of the NC retirement system, arguing it loses approximately $3 billion annually compared to other states' funds. He proposes adopting a model used by top-performing states, involving a team of senior in-house money managers to work alongside the treasurer, moving away from the "sole fiduciary" model, highlighting the success of private equity investments in North Carolina. I'm supporting Brad Briner for a smarter, growth-focused approach to managing North Carolina's investments and my money. Brian Ferrell
