Fox News: Red state treasurer reveals why state financial officers have 'obligation' to combat ESG, DEI

Oaks warns that prioritizing social agendas over financial returns can lead to detrimental outcomes for companies and their shareholders. He cites examples of firms like Target and Bud Light, which have suffered financially after adopting DEI policies. The focus, he insists, should remain on meritocracy and fiduciary responsibility.
