Race background
Narrow margin of victory for Frerichs
The treasurer's race was among a small handful of state executive elections in the United States that could not be decided on November 4. Republican candidate Tom Cross led Democratic candidate Mike Frerichs by 21,000 votes out of 3.4 million votes cast in the race on November 5. Cross' narrow lead shrunk further after absentee and provision ballots were counted the following week. The Cross campaign complained that Cook County balloting revealed instances of voter fraud and counting irregularities. Cross conceded to Frerichs on November 19, 2014, after all counties reported their results and gave Frerichs a lead of less than 10,000 votes.[5][6]

As treasurer, Frerichs took positions in support of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG), an approach to investing and corporate decision-making.
State financial officers, including treasurers, auditors, and controllers, are responsible for auditing other government offices, managing payroll, and overseeing pensions. In some states, these financial officers are also responsible for investing state retirement and trust funds.
Pro-ESG financial officers’ letter opposing anti-ESG state officers (September 2022)
In September 2022, Frerichs and 13 other state and local financial officers signed a letter opposing laws and policies in West Virginia, Idaho, Oklahoma, Texas, and Florida "aiming to curb consideration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in investing."[14]
The letter said those states were "blacklisting financial firms that don’t agree with their political views." The letter also said, “the blacklisting states apparently believe, despite ample evidence and scientific consensus to the contrary, that poor working conditions, unfair compensation, discrimination and harassment, and even poor governance practices do not represent material threats to the companies in which they invest. They refuse to acknowledge, in the face of sweltering heat, floods, tornadoes, snowstorms and other extreme weather, that climate change is real and is a true business threat to all of us.”[14]
Opposition to U.S. Labor Department anti-ESG rule proposal (July 2020)
In July 2020, Frerichs opposed a U.S. Department of Labor rule proposal to require retirement fund managers to “select investments and investment courses of action based solely on financial considerations relevant to the risk-adjusted economic value of a particular investment or investment course of action.” The proposal, titled “Financial Factors in Selecting Plan Investments,” specifically singled out and discussed the use of ESG factors as potential violations of the requirement.[15][16]
Ceres, an ESG advocacy nonprofit, opposed the proposed rule change and issued a news release on June 30, 2022, titled “Major investors oppose proposed rule that would impede ESG investing.”[17]
| “ | The proposed rule would place a significant burden on fiduciaries who offer ESG funds as options in their retirement fund and could also affect the broader pension fund market by setting an unwelcome precedent that runs counter to the mainstream U.S. and global practice of integrating ESG factors into investment decisions. The DOL proposes these restrictions at a time when ESG investing is rapidly growing and more fully embraced by mainstream global finance and investment organizations[18] | ” |
| —Ceres[19] | ||
The Labor Department's final rule, issued in October 2020, excluded specific references to ESG factors.[20]
In November 2022, the Department of Labor, under the administration of President Joe Biden (D), released a final rule in a proposal titled “Prudence and Loyalty in Selecting Plan Investments and Exercising Shareholder Rights.” The new rule specifically permitted employee retirement plan managers to use ESG factors when judging the value of investments, replacing rulemaking crafted under the administration of President Donald Trump (R).[21]
Russell 3000 Board Diversity Disclosure Initiative (October 2020)
In October 2020, Frerichs became the chair of the Russell 3000 Board Diversity Disclosure Initiative. The proposal, supported by 25 other public and private fund managers, asked the leadership of firms listed on the Russell 3000 stock index to disclose the racial, ethnic and gender data for the membership of their corporate boards.[22] [23]
Frerichs said, “Insular corporate boards make too many decisions in an echo chamber and miss opportunities for growth and leadership. Providing racial, ethnic and gender disclosure will allow institutional investors to identify strategic weaknesses that inhibit growth and provide specific guidance to maximize shareholder value.”[24]
In a November 2022 news release, Frerichs said the program had grown from 292 firms providing diversity disclosure in 2020 to more than 2,200 in 2022.[25]
Frerichs said, “We are very pleased to see the majority of companies responding to our feedback and openly disclosing the diversity of their board directors. While there are many outlier companies that fail to disclose, I am optimistic about the overall trend, and more importantly, it is great to see more companies recognizing that board diversity is an area that warrants more attention and can drive performance.”[26]
Support for Southern Company net-zero plan (May 2020)
In May 2020, Southern Company, an electric utility company, announced at its annual shareholders meeting a commitment to operate at net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The decision was influenced by a coalition of its shareholders working in partnership with Ceres and Majority Action, a pair of ESG advocacy nonprofits. The Illinois Treasurer’s office, under the leadership of Frerichs as administrator of the state’s employee pension and other funds, was part of the coalition.[27]
Frerichs said, “Climate change presents serious risks – and opportunities – to companies and investors. To thrive in the face of such a transformative, systemic threat such as climate change, it is critical that companies set goals, build plans and marshal the resources necessary to ensure long-term sustainability. Southern’s commitment to net-zero is an important milestone for the company and the industry – and it affirms the value of engagement between shareholders and companies, as our investor group, with the support of Ceres and Majority Action, has led a constructive dialogue with the company. Southern’s goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 is a step in the right direction, and I look forward to future discussions on the company’s efforts to realize this objective.”[28]
SEC petition seeking mandatory ESG reporting from public firms (October 2018)
In October 2018, Frerichs signed a petition to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requesting that the federal regulatory agency impose “rulemaking to develop mandatory rules for public companies to disclose high-quality, comparable, decision-useful environmental, social, and governance information.”
The letter acknowledged that “most of America’s largest public companies” were already “attempting to provide additional information” on ESG issues. But the signatories also said there were “substantial problems with the nature, timing, and extent of these voluntary disclosures,” and “problems with the quality of voluntary ESG disclosure.”[29]
Prof. Cynthia A Williams of the Osgoode Hall Law School and Prof. Jill E Fisch of the University of Pennsylvania Law School wrote the petition. Signatories included public and private investment officials claiming to represent $5 trillion in assets under management.[30]
Gaming license
On December 1, 2010, the Illinois Senate voted 31-20 in favor of a plan that allows for five additional casinos and electronic gaming at horse track facilities, increasing the number of licenses for casinos in the state to 15.
Under the plan, new casinos would operate in Chicago, southern Cook County, Danville, Rockford and Waukegan.
"Is it a huge expansion? Yes, I'm not going to deny it. But we have a huge deficit in the state of Illinois, we have got huge problems in the state of Illinois, so you don't look at little things to fix it, you look at big things to fix it," said the bill's sponsor, Sen. Terry Link, D-Waukegan.
Frerichs and other lawmakers wanted another way to increase revenue. He wanted to see General Motors return to Danville, though this did not happen.[31]

| Collapse all
Mike Frerichs was born and raised in the small, downstate farming community of Gifford, in east-central Illinois (population 911 in 2020). His father was a union truck driver and his mother worked as a secretary at the University of Illinois. After graduating from college, he spent two years in Taiwan, where he taught English to young students and learned to speak Chinese. He came home to Gifford where he served as a volunteer firefighter and helped found a technology business.
He was elected to the Champaign County Board and later elected Champaign County Auditor. In 2006, he was elected Illinois State Senator representing east-central Illinois. He was first elected Illinois State Treasurer in 2014 and re-elected in 2018.
He is married to Erica. He has a teenage daughter, Ella. They reside in Champaign.
- As State Treasurer Mike Frerichs earned more than $1 billion for taxpayers and has consistently been awarded the top AAA rating for the Illinois Funds investment pool. The Chicago Tribune endorsed him saying “track records matter and Frerichs has consistently shown himself to be skilled at handling Illinois’ investment portfolio…” And the Daily Herald endorsed Frerichs observing that “investments and retirement plans don't generate the kind of exciting headlines you get in an election year…” but Frerichs has been a taxpayer advocate “not through words, but through his accomplishments over the past eight years in office.”
- Mike Frerichs has served as a watchdog for Illinois taxpayers. Since being elected Treasurer Mike Frerichs has returned a record-breaking $1.5 billion in unclaimed property to taxpayers and paid over 1.2 million claims – more than any other Illinois Treasurer in history. This happened because over sometimes fierce opposition from special interests, Mike Frerichs fought to modernize Illinois’ unclaimed property laws and system. This included taking on life insurance companies that did not pay benefits even when they knew, or should have known, that their customer had passed away. Auditors for the State Treasurer have found over $800 million in unpaid life insurance benefits owed to Illinois beneficiaries.
- Mike Frerichs inherited a college savings program with among the lowest ratings in the nation. Under his leadership, Illinois changed providers, cut fees dramatically, and provided more high-quality investment options to families. As a result, not only have families saved over $100 million in fees, but independent analyst Morningstar improved their rating for Illinois’ Bright Start program from among the worst to literally tied for first in the nation. Bright Start has now received Morningstar’s top Gold rating for five consecutive years. Illinois’ college savings pool has more than doubled from $7 billion in 2015 to over $16.5 billion in assets with over 800,000 accounts today.
The Treasurer’s Office actively manages approximately $50 billion. Under Mike Frerichs’ leadership the office has earned more than $1 billion for taxpayers and has consistently been awarded the top AAA rating for the Illinois Funds investment pool.
As the state's Chief Investment Officer, Mike Frerichs does more than make wise investments and protect taxpayer dollars, his office provides tools to help people invest in themselves.
During his tenure, he has returned more than $1.5 billion back to Illinois taxpayers through the I-Cash (unclaimed property) program, more than any other Treasurer in history. He has expanded access to higher education by improving Illinois' Bright Start College Savings Program to the top-rated program in the country, earning independent analyst Morningstar's Gold rating five years in a row. He has expanded tools like the Secure Choice program that is currently helping over 100,000 Illinois workers save their own money to retire with dignity - and an estimated 2.4 million Illinoisans who will benefit in future years. And he leads the 17-state bipartisan National ABLE Alliance, which offers people with disabilities and their families the ability to save and build financial wellness without risking federal benefits.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
