Where they stand

Fiscal management

Paraphrase of a linked source, not their words:

Emphasized a traditional "safety, liquidity, and yield" approach to managing the state's investment portfolio, and pledged to serve a complete four-year term if elected, drawing a contrast with Mandel, who had run for U.S. Senate in 2012 while still serving as treasurer.

2014 · 2014 campaign, per the research archive

Government ethics

Paraphrase of a linked source, not their words:

Proposed creating an independent inspector general position within the Treasurer's office, insulated from political pressure, to police the office's own conduct after a series of past corruption scandals.

Recorded votes

Connie Pillich cast 1,551 Yea or Nay votes on the roll calls we hold, across 3 terms from 2009 to 2014, all in the Ohio General Assembly, from the Ohio Legislature. Each term opens to every roll call, with the question, the result, how Connie Pillich voted and how the majority of their party voted.

TermChamberYeaNayDid not voteWith party
130th General Assembly, 2013–2014Ohio House, district 28398162not recorded96% of 134
129th General Assembly, 2011–2012Ohio House, district 28448175not recorded92% of 205

"With party" counts only roll calls on which most Republicans and most Democrats voted opposite ways. The Ohio Legislature records who voted Yea and who voted Nay and no one else, so an absence cannot be told from an abstention and neither is counted; only floor votes are listed.
