Vermont’s outgoing Commissioner of Financial Regulation is running for state treasurer.
At the end of April, Vermont Governor Phil Scott announced that Department of Financial Regulation Commissioner Michael Pieciak would leave the state’s consumer watchdog agency on May 16 to “pursue other opportunities.”
Pieciak announced Friday that he is running for state treasurer, two days after incumbent Democrat Beth Pearce said she will not run for re-election due to health reasons after nearly 12 years in the role.
