Mike Pieciak is a husband, proud Vermonter, and Vermont's 31st Treasurer.
Growing up in Brattleboro, Mike was inspired to pursue public service by the example his parents set. His father, a small business owner, dedicated his free time to community service, while his mother founded St. Brigid’s Soup Kitchen, which continues to serve those in need today. They raised Mike to believe that Vermonters should always look after their neighbors. That belief continues to guide his work today.
As Treasurer, Mike has focused on making smart investments that lower costs, strengthen Vermont's economy, and give every Vermonter a fair shot at success.
Mike successfully championed the passage of “Vermont Saves” - a simple, no-cost solution to help +80,000 Vermonters save for their future and achieve greater financial security in retirement.
Mike also expanded the “10% in Vermont” program to invest over $100 million in new housing development, supporting over 1,100 additional housing units statewide.
Most recently, Mike announced a plan to eliminate up to $100 million in medical debt held by working and middle-class Vermonters.
Before he was elected Treasurer, Mike served six years as the Commissioner of the Department of Financial Regulation under Governors Peter Shumlin and Phil Scott. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mike served on the pandemic response team, providing data and modeling updates at the Governor’s weekly press conferences.
Prior to his public service, Mike practiced law in New York City and at Downs Rachlin Martin in Burlington in the Business Law Group.
Mike graduated cum laude from Union College with a degree in political science. He received his law degree summa cum laude from the University of Miami School of Law where he served as editor-in-chief of the “Miami Law Review.”
Mike resides in Winooski with his husband, Will, and English Setter Jetty.
