Andy Dillon is Michigan's 44th State Treasurer after being named as one of
Governor Rick Snyder's first appointments. As Treasurer, Andy Dillon is now
responsible for overseeing changes made to the state's taxation laws,
distributing revenue sharing monies, and protecting the credit rating of the
state and its local units of governments. In addition, he will be charged with
managing the retirement funds of Michigan's state police and judges, and its
state and public school employees. Treasurer Dillon is well prepared and humbled
to lead the state as its new Treasurer. He looks forward to the opportunity of
serving the interest of Michigan, and all its citizens.
Andy Dillon has served three terms in the Michigan House of Representatives,
and was elected by his colleagues to serve as Speaker of the House during his
final two terms. He is married to Carol Dillon, and together, they are proud
parents of four children, Matt, Jack, Austin and Teagan.
Prior to achieving elected office, Mr. Dillon served as the managing director
of Wynnchurch Capital, vice president of GE Capital, and worked as a financial
analyst at WR Grace. In addition, Mr. Dillon practiced law for seven years after
graduating with his law and accounting degrees from the University of Notre
Dame, and worked as an administrative assistant to U.S. Senator Bill Bradley.
In the Legislature, Speaker Dillon was a leading proponent of energy reform
that included expanding Michigan's renewable energy sector, which helped to
create thousands of green-collar jobs. During his first term, he was one of the
chief architects of the 21st Century Jobs Fund, which was created to diversify
Michigan's economy and make the state a magnet for the good-paying jobs of the
future. Additionally, under Andy Dillon's leadership as Speaker, he led by
example through enacting cost saving measures such as: voluntarily giving up his
own legislative health care benefits and voting to reduce his own pay by 10% in
an effort to help balance the states budget.
