Friend,

As Comptroller, I also serve as Vice Chair of Maryland’s state pension board that oversees our $70 billion retirement fund for more than 420,000 public employees and retirees. The board sets the policies that guide how that money is invested and managed.

That’s why I’ve been speaking out about Tesla’s Board of Directors and their failure to hold Elon Musk accountable.

Here’s why: Marylanders deserve better than reckless leadership putting our investments — and our future — at risk.

Tesla is facing a crisis. The company needs full-time leadership focused on solving problems and protecting long-term value. Instead, we’re watching a CEO distracted by political fights and personal agendas, while the company’s stock price plummets and its board does nothing.

This is about more than one company. It’s about standing up for Maryland workers whose retirement security depends on strong, responsible governance.

If you believe Maryland needs leaders who speak out and show up — not just when it’s easy, but when it counts — chip in $10 or more today to support our work.

We can’t afford silence when public dollars and public trust are on the line.

Thank you for standing with me,

Brooke Lierman
