Treasurer Sarah Godlewski is Wisconsin’s thirty-sixth State Treasurer and serves as the state’s chief financial officer. Treasurer Godlewski’s bold vision for the office is to foster financial security and sustainability for all Wisconsinites while protecting our tax dollars -- tackling issues such as retirement and college affordability.

The Treasurer was also a founding member of WE Capital Fund which empowers female entrepreneurs through financing opportunities.

Beyond investing, Treasurer Godlewski worked at the Pentagon for almost a decade where she helped save taxpayers tens of millions of dollars and worked to create a performance-based budget for local government. She is a big proponent of financial literacy and supported such initiatives as an adjunct professor. The Treasurer started her financial career supporting micro-lending initiatives in rural India where she saw firsthand how access to capital can positively transform entire communities.
