Record as Indiana's State Treasurer

Since taking office as Indiana’s State Treasurer in February of 2007, Richard Mourdock has earned over $1.3 billion in investment income for Hoosier taxpayers. 

During this time, Richard has returned an average of more than 10% of his office budget back to the Treasury each year.  The Indiana State Treasurer’s Office is one of the leanest state treasurer’s offices in the Nation, having fewer employees than all but a handful of states. 

In 2008, when Governor Daniels declared a freeze on state employee salaries, Richard turned down his automatic pay raise.  As long as state employees were not receiving raises, he told Hoosiers he would not receive the automatic raise passed by the Indiana General Assembly.

Since 2007, the State Treasurer’s Office has had an over 99% attendance rate on the more than a dozen state boards and commissions the State Treasurer serves on in addition to the primary duties of the Office as the State’s Chief Investment Officer.

In addition to investing Indiana’s $7 billion portfolio, as State Treasurer Richard Mourdock also:

  • Serves as Trustee of the Indiana State Police Pension Trust.  Under Richard’s leadership, the Trust returned over 19% on its investments last year and was recently nominated for Small Pension Fund of the Year by Money Management Intelligence.
     
  • Re-launched Indiana’s 529 College Savings Plan with lower fees and increased investment options as Chairman of the Indiana Education Savings Authority.  The Savings Plan has been ranked as one of the top five plans in the country by Morningstar and has helped over 165,000 Hoosiers save for college tax-free while earning a 20% credit on their Indiana income taxes.   
     
  • Developed Indiana's Wireless Enhanced 911 Network into one of the best in the nation as Chairman of the Wireless Enhanced 911 Board.  Over 12 million cellular 911 calls have now been routed through the network under Richard’s leadership.
     
  • Helped communities and schools across Indiana pool their resources and save millions of dollars in borrowing costs as Chairman of the Indiana Bond Bank.
