Pledges to 'completely divest from fossil fuel companies' across equities, fixed income, and alternatives, arguing earlier divestment would have raised returns.

Using the office: audits & oversight

Would use the office's 'massive audit authority to hold bad actors accountable,' including utilities and agencies he says go unexamined.

American Prospect

Affordability: utility bills & housing

Would co-invest pension capital to lower utilities' guaranteed profit margins ('the higher that return, the lower your bill') and create a $20B pension-funded affordable-housing program.

American Prospect

Unclaimed funds

Would 'automatically send you a check' for money owed from the ~$20B unclaimed fund, contrasting New York's low return rate with other states.
