# SFOF Policy Letter Operation The State Financial Officers Foundation runs an industrial sign-on letter operation, soliciting state financial officer signatures on policy letters addressed to federal officials. The 6/25/25 Brady custodian production captures at least eight such letters circulated in the period October 2024 through May 2025, each gathering approximately 20 to 23 signatures from state treasurers, auditors, comptrollers, and similar officers. The operation runs in parallel to and is structurally distinct from the SFOF investment-promotion track that brought DCI's Israel Bonds offering to Milligan and Arkansas pension officials. The investment track (documented at [[sfof-state-financial-officer-network]]) is about promoting specific investments to state pension funds. The letter operation (this concept page) is about positioning the signing officers as a national bloc on federal regulatory and policy questions. The same SFOF leadership runs both tracks: CEO OJ Oleka, EVP Policy & Government Affairs Noah Wall ([[noah-wall]]), Director of Operations Adam Slayton ([[adam-slayton]]). ## The eight documented letters The Brady production captures these letter circulations during October 2024 through May 2025: | Date circulated | Subject | Recipient | Signature count | |---|---|---|---| | 9/27/2024 | National debt | (federal officials) | unknown | | 10/11/2024 | China divestment | (federal officials) | unknown | | 10/21/2024 | DEI corporate policies | Corporations | unknown | | 11/14/2024 | Anti-fiduciary-duty institutional investor list (anti-EPA methane regulation) | State financial officer boycott lists | unknown | | 1/21/2025 | SEC Chair / DOL ESG investing after 5th Circuit American Airlines ruling | SEC and DOL | 22 | | 2/12/2025 | USTR / European ESG investing policies | USTR / President Trump | unknown | | 3/4/2025 | Federal debanking legislation | (Congress, regulators) | unknown | | 3/17/2025 | Asset managers and proxy advisors / SEC DEI/ESG shareholder proposal guidance | Asset managers, proxy advisors | unknown | | 3/24-25/2025 | Tesla attacks driving down pension values | US AG Pam Bondi | 19+ | | 5/1/2025 | Delisting CCP-influenced companies from stock exchanges | SEC | 23 | The DEI letter (10/21/2024) and the anti-methane-investor list mobilization (11/14/2024) are additions documented in the R2 Milligan SFOF folder. The DEI letter circulation from Wall to "All" (Oleka was the To-line addressee with broader distribution implicit) sought to counter "Democrat Members of Congress signed a letter to corporations urging them to maintain DEI policies that we've made progress rolling back." Friday October 25 NOON deadline. The 11/14/2024 anti-methane-investor mobilization from Oleka to "Undisclosed recipients" is a different category from the letter operation; it is direct mobilization of state-level boycott-list authority. Oleka wrote: "For those of you who have the statutory or executive authority to add to a list some institutional investors that would be hostile to fiduciary duty -- as defined within your state -- and after review of these documents you choose to add any of the listed institutional investors to that list, please let me know." The Arkansas State Treasurer's anti-BDS list referenced in BP4 Section B is one analog of the "list" Oleka invoked; Arkansas Act 937 of 2025 prohibitions on CCP-linked entities (BP4 Section C) is another. Oleka was mobilizing state-level boycott-list machinery on a federal-policy issue (EPA methane regulation), which is the documented structural pattern of the SFOF letter operation extended into the state-level enforcement layer. The cadence is approximately one to two letters per month. Turnaround times are short: typically 24 to 72 hours from circulation to signature deadline. The standard format is an Oleka or Wall email circulated to "Undisclosed recipients" or to Oleka himself (with the actual list bcc'd) with a Word-format draft letter attached, requesting reply-all confirmation to sign. Brady at the Auditor's office consistently signs Milligan onto the letters and forwards the drafts to Spadoni for printing. ## Substantive content of the documented letters The letters address a coherent policy agenda. Five themes recur: 1. **Anti-ESG and anti-DEI investment regulation.** The SEC/DOL letter, the asset managers letter, and the USTR/European letter all argue that ESG and DEI considerations in investment decisions violate fiduciary duty. The letters use the post-Act-498-style "pecuniary factors only" framing for their federal advocacy. 2. **Anti-CCP financial regulation.** The China divestment letter and the CCP delisting letter argue for divestment from PRC-linked entities and delisting of opaque Chinese companies from US exchanges. This is the federal-policy parallel to the Arkansas Act 937 of 2025 prohibitions documented in BP4 Section C (see [[atrs-investment-policy-bp4]]). 3. **Defense of specific corporate interests against political action.** The Tesla letter to AG Bondi explicitly defends Tesla stock value from "attacks" allegedly driving down the price, framing this as protection of public pension fund returns. The substantive argument is that political opposition to Tesla constitutes interference with public investment returns. 4. **Anti-debanking.** The federal debanking legislation letter responds to anticipated federal legislation on financial-services-side discrimination against politically disfavored industries or speech. 5. **National debt rhetoric.** The October 2024 National Debt letter is an early-cycle communication. The unifying frame is that public pension fund fiduciaries must oppose investment-side political action by activists, asset managers, or regulators, while supporting investment-side political action that aligns with the SFOF policy program. The asymmetry is built into the letter operation: the Tesla letter defends Tesla against political "attacks" but does not address whether the political behaviors driving the Tesla stock decline (Elon Musk's role in DOGE, the Trump administration positioning) are themselves politicized investment factors. The "pecuniary factors only" standard is invoked selectively. ## Brady's operational role Brady's correspondence with SFOF on these letters follows a consistent pattern. Oleka or Wall circulates a draft. Brady (or Spadoni at his direction) reviews. Brady asks SFOF to add Milligan's name to the signature list. Brady forwards the draft to Spadoni for printing. Substantive commentary by Brady on the merits of the policy positions does not appear in the production. The Auditor's-office sign-on is procedural rather than deliberative. The 3/25/2025 Brady reply on the Tesla letter circulation is a representative example. Brady noticed Oleka had listed Milligan as "Alabama State Auditor" in the signature list (a mailmerge or drafting error; Andrew Sorrell is the actual Alabama Auditor). Brady's email to Oleka: "OJ ... would you please have your person change us to Dennis Milligan, Arkansas instead of Alabama. We wouldn't want to insult the good folks to our east. I mean, we do both thank God everyday for Mississippi! Ha ha. Many thanks - Jason." The error correction is procedural; Brady does not engage on the letter's substance. ## Connection to the Israel Bonds investigation The letter operation is not an Israel Bonds activity, but it provides essential context for understanding the network within which the Israel Bonds outreach occurred. Three connections matter. First, the letter operation establishes that SFOF has the institutional capacity to mobilize 20+ state financial officers on tight deadlines for coordinated political action. The same network that produced 22 signatures on the SEC/DOL letter could presumably produce coordinated state pension fund Israel Bonds adoption if SFOF chose to organize such a campaign. Second, the operation establishes Brady's day-to-day role as the Auditor's-office liaison to a national policy machine. Brady is not just the operational scheduler for Milligan's domestic Arkansas activities; he is the routing point for federal policy advocacy that flows through Milligan's signature. Third, the Trump-administration alignment is explicit and recurring. The 4/30/2025 Oleka newsletter ("100 Days In: How Trump Is Rewriting the Rules of Financial Freedom") frames SFOF and the Trump administration as allies. The 1/28/2025 Oleka email about the federal assistance freeze cites "a senior staffer from a member of Congress" as Oleka's source. Brady's 4/3/2025 draft of Milligan's SFOF speech tells the SFOF audience: "if we 'Conservatives' in this room will lock arms and join forces, with Republicans in control of the White House, House and Senate." The 501(c)(3) endorsement disclaimer SFOF appends to its emails is in textual tension with the explicitly partisan framing of its substantive activities. ## SFOF leadership transition in late 2024 to early 2025 Two of SFOF's most senior policy leaders departed in this period and founded parallel organizations while maintaining SFOF partnerships. Noah Wall (EVP Policy & Government Affairs since at least 2022) departed at the end of 2024 to found "State Leadership" (at [email protected]), an organization "focused on economic leadership and regulatory reform in state government." He notified Oleka and the SFOF board in early November 2024 and announced broadly on 12/19/2024. Wall's closing note: "I am working with OJ to formalize a partnership to support the outstanding work being done with the public fiduciary network." Derek Kreifels (former CEO and co-founder of SFOF, twelve-year tenure) launched Prospr Aligned on 1/7/2025 as a for-profit consulting firm targeting state pension officials. See [[derek-kreifels]] [[prospr-aligned]] and the [[noah-wall]] entity page for the departures and parallel organizations. The substantive consequence is that SFOF's senior policy leadership operates across multiple legal entities (501(c)(3) SFOF, 501(c)(4) SFOF Action, for-profit Prospr Aligned, State Leadership) with overlapping leadership and stated SFOF partnerships. After Wall's departure, Adam Schwend assumed the SFOF Director of Public Policy role and organized SFOF Policy Zooms from June 2025 onward. The combined SFOF + alumni infrastructure now spans both nonprofit advocacy (sign-on letters, Policy Zooms, conferences) and for-profit consulting (proxy voting, manager analysis, corporate engagement). The same state financial officer constituency receives communications from all of these entities through the same OJ Oleka and his successors. The R2 Milligan chunk 4 ingest documents that the SFOF + Prospr Aligned partnership produces joint NYSE-platform events. Oleka's 6/13/2025 invitation cohosts SFOF and Prospr Aligned at a 7/1-7/2/2025 NYSE bell-ringing event launching the Alaska-focused ETF developed by Alaska Commissioner of Revenue Adam Crum. Travel costs are handled "the same way they are handled for SFOF national conferences," routing the NYSE event into the same reimbursement infrastructure Slayton documented on 4/30/2025 for the Spring National Meeting. The joint NYSE event therefore confirms that the SFOF/Prospr Aligned partnership is operationalized institutionally, not merely nominal. The 4/18/2025 Prospr Aligned mailmerge to Milligan documenting Kreifels's appearance on a "Pension Industrial Complex" panel at the SFOF Spring National Meeting (alongside author Jerry Bowyer, Vident CEO Vince Birley, and Oklahoma State Treasurer Todd Russ) is the parallel four-month-earlier joint programming. See [[sfof-state-financial-officer-network]] and [[prospr-aligned]]. ## Update from the R2 Milligan calendar: thirteen Policy Zoom invites and the SFOF Spring attendance roster The R2 Milligan calendar production ([[auditor-foia-r2-milligan]]) captures thirteen SFOF Policy Zoom / National Policy Zoom calendar invites in Milligan's own Outlook calendar over the period 10/9/2024 through 6/18/2025: 10/9/2024 (Noah Wall organizing, "SFOF Policy Zoom"), 10/23/2024 (Noah Wall, "SFOF National Policy Zoom" — the same day as Brady's seed outreach to ATRS and APERS), 12/4/2024 (Noah Wall, "National Policy Zoom"), 1/15/2025 (OJ Oleka — same day as the DCI Rothenberg briefing Milligan attended), 1/29/2025, 2/12/2025, 2/26/2025 (marked as the master recurring meeting with "Every 2 weeks on Wed, Thu, 110 occurrence(s)"), 3/12/2025, 3/26/2025 (same day as the 10:30 AM CT SBF meeting Milligan attended), 4/9/2025 (five days before the Capitol tour), 5/14/2025 (the week the APERS Investment Committee approved Israel Bonds), 6/4/2025 (Adam Schwend organizing, two days after the ATRS Board vote, a corrected-time invite for an originally-12:30 PM meeting), 6/18/2025 (Adam Schwend). This is more than the "at least nine" Policy Zooms the Brady R2 batch documented. Milligan's calendar therefore preserves a more complete record of SFOF Policy Zoom invitations. Either Milligan was invited to Policy Zooms Brady was not, Milligan kept invites Brady purged, or the calendars reflect different management of the same recurring meeting. The substantive consequence is that Milligan had biweekly Wednesday-noon-ET institutional touchpoints with SFOF leadership throughout the Israel Bonds adoption period. The 10/23/2024 SFOF Policy Zoom on the same date as Brady's seed outreach is particularly notable as a temporal coincidence; whether SFOF and the Auditor's office coordinated the outreach is not addressable from the calendar invite alone. The April 22-25, 2025 SFOF Spring National Meeting at Omni Orlando ChampionsGate is also captured in Milligan's calendar with four Auditor's-office mandatory participants: Milligan, Brady, Spadoni, and Melissa Corrigan. The R1 documented Milligan; Brady R2 documented Brady; this batch adds Spadoni and Corrigan. The Auditor's-office four-person delegation to Orlando confirms the SFOF Spring meeting as a primary institutional venue for the Arkansas Auditor's-office relationship with SFOF. The 4/16/2025 "Record Video for SFOF" calendar entry (organized by Stacy Peterson at Kurt Underwood's office) documents Milligan recording a video for SFOF six days before the Spring meeting opened. The video's substantive content is not documented in the calendar invite alone but the timing positions it as plausibly intended for the SFOF Spring meeting or for SFOF promotional use. See [[kurt-underwood]]. ## SFOF Action 501(c)(4) Noah Wall signs some letters from his SFOF address ([email protected]) and others from a SFOF Action address ([email protected]). SFOF Action is presumably a separately-registered 501(c)(4) sister organization that allows more direct policy advocacy than the 501(c)(3) SFOF. The functional substance of letters sent from either address is similar; the legal entity differs. The materials do not document the relationship between the two entities in detail, but the use of two coordinated email domains is the standard 501(c)(3) plus 501(c)(4) structure. ## Public Fiduciary Network A separate but related SFOF program is the Public Fiduciary Network (PFN), described in Oleka's 3/3/2025 email as "an upcoming PFN conference at the tail end of the SFOF conference" intended for "anyone you know that serves on a fiduciary board. That could be a public pension board, a land trust, or even a university governing board." PFN extends the SFOF organizational footprint from elected state financial officers to appointed public fiduciary board members. The April 2025 SFOF Spring National Meeting included a PFN conference. ## Evidence > [!evidence] OJ Oleka SFOF letter circulation, SEC ChairDOL Letter for Signature.pdf p.1, 1/21/2025 > "Please find a letter for signature regarding the SEC and DOL and the 5th circuit American Airlines ruling on ESG investing.

Statement A reads the operation as professional-association coordination within professional-regulatory domain; Statement B reads it as substantive coordinated partisan-aligned policy advocacy operating across 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), and for-profit-consulting forms with sponsor-funded content production. Status: open. - [[T048 - ATRS Resolution 2025-48 China Termination Independent Investment Decision vs SFOF Policy Coordination]] — was the 12/1/2025 ATRS Resolution 2025-48 BlackRock-to-State-Street redeployment an independent investment-management decision driven by Aon consultant recommendation, or a portfolio-level operationalization of the SFOF anti-CCP policy track operating through the Auditor's-office channel into ATRS portfolio decisions. Statement A reads the Aon consultant-recommendation attribution and the broader market-context drivers for ex-China index variants as evidence of independent investment-management decision-making; Statement B reads the temporal alignment with the SFOF letter operation, the Arkansas Act 937 of 2025 policy parallel, the custom-Unitized-Account construction, and the multi-track parallel running through the same Auditor's-office institutional engagement as evidence of policy-track operationalization at portfolio-level. Status: open.

The R3 production includes two DRAFT letters dated May 15, 2023 (file-naming date 2023.05.09 reflects the draft-distribution date one week earlier): - **2023.05.09_Letter_to_Asset_Managers.pdf** (11 pages): Multi-state state-treasurer-and-financial-officer letter to "[Name of CEO]" of asset-management firms. Covers shareholder proposals on climate reporting, GHG emissions actions, diversity and racial equity, and specific ESG proponents (National Legal and Policy Center, National Center for Public Policy Research, Steven Milloy). Cites the February 26 2023 Wall Street Journal Vanguard CEO Tim Buckley interview ("ESG investing does not have any advantage over broad-based investing") as authority. - **2023.05.09_Letter_to_proxy_advisory_firms.pdf** (8 pages): Parallel letter to "[Name of CEO]" of proxy advisory firms (functionally ISS and Glass Lewis). Covers proxy-voting recommendation practices on the same topics. References Paul Rose's Manhattan Institute paper documenting the 99.5% institutional-investor compliance rate with ISS/Glass Lewis voting guidance. **Both letters identify the Utah Office of State Treasurer as the coordinating office** ("If you have any questions about the contents of this letter, please contact the Utah Office of State Treasurer by phone (801-538-1042) or email ([email protected])"). Both retain "INSERT STATE SEALS" placeholder at the top and "[Signatures]" placeholder at the bottom, confirming pre-signing draft status. The Treasury R3 retention is **Lowery-era Treasury retention**. Milligan was Treasurer through January 2023 (term-limited); Mark Lowery was Treasurer January 2023 through his death in late July 2023; Walther was appointed Treasurer August 3, 2023. The May 15, 2023 draft date falls inside the Lowery interregnum. The Treasury custodian at that date was Lowery's office; Milligan was Auditor of State by May 2023. The R3 retention therefore extends this concept page's documentation of the SFOF Policy Letter Operation in three structural ways: (1) **The operation routes drafts to multiple state offices simultaneously, not only to the Brady-orchestrated Auditor's-office signing channel.** The May 2023 anti-ESG drafts reached the Arkansas Treasurer's office (Lowery) at approximately the same time they would have reached the Auditor's office (Milligan). Whether the drafts also reached the Auditor's office at this date is not documented in R1/R2 (the R1/R2 Auditor productions begin with the October 2024 cycle); the Treasury-side R3 retention is the first wiki documentation of pre-2024 SFOF letter operation activity. (2) **The cross-state coordinating-office structure routes through the Utah State Treasurer's office, not exclusively through SFOF Shawnee KS headquarters.** The standard SFOF letter operation pattern (per the Brady-documented 2024-2025 letters) uses Oleka/Wall/Slayton at SFOF as the coordinator. The May 2023 anti-ESG letters use the Utah State Treasurer's office ([email protected], 801-538-1042) as the coordinator. The pattern suggests the SFOF letter operation has been operationally flexible across coordinating offices, with member-state-treasury offices sometimes serving as the central operational point. The "Marlo Oaks" Utah State Treasurer reference (Marlo Oaks served as Utah Treasurer during this period) is the likely substantive coordinator from the Utah-office side. (3) **The substantive policy content of the May 2023 anti-ESG drafts is structurally consistent with the documented 2024-2025 SFOF letter content.** The Tesla letter (3/24-25/2025), the SEC/DOL ESG letter (1/21/2025), the USTR/European ESG letter (2/12/2025), and the asset-managers / proxy-advisors / SEC DEI/ESG letter (3/17/2025) all share substantive content with the May 2023 drafts: pecuniary-factors-only framing, ESG-as-fiduciary-violation framing, Vanguard/T. Rowe Price as authorities, NLPC/NCPPR/Milloy as supportive proponents. The May 2023 drafts are documented antecedents of the same operational pattern running 18-24 months later through the Brady-Milligan channel at the Auditor's office. The R3 finding does NOT establish whether Lowery or any subsequent Treasurer signed either letter. The drafts may have been retained for review and not joined; the documentary record at Treasury through 2-19-2026 includes only the draft versions with placeholders unfilled. Whether the May 2023 drafts produced signed versions, and which states signed, is a follow-up FOIA target — particularly through the Utah State Treasurer's office which was the coordinating office. The structural significance: the SFOF Policy Letter Operation runs at least 18 months earlier than the Brady-documented Oct 2024 - May 2025 cycle, and operates as a coordinated multi-state-office activity with retention at multiple state-office custodians. The Brady-orchestrated Auditor's-office signing channel is one node within a documented multi-node network, not the sole channel. [[treasury-foia-r3-2-19-26]] source page documenting the May 2023 draft retention ## 12/1/2025 ATRS portfolio-level operationalization of the anti-CCP letter track The 12/1/2025 ATRS Board ratified Resolution 2025-48 authorizing termination of the BlackRock MSCI ACWI IMI Index Fund and redeployment of assets to an ATRS-specific MSCI ACWI ex-China ex-Hong Kong IMI Unitized Account managed by State Street Global Advisors. The motion language captured in the BOT transcript at [[atrs-board-audio-12-1-25]] is verbatim: > [!evidence] 20251201D_BOT_Audio.transcript.txt segments 1384-1389, [00:57:59 to 00:58:15] > "of resolution 2025-48, authorizing the termination of the Black Rock MSCI ACWI IMI Index Fund and redeployment of access to the ARTM OS MSCI ACWI X China X Hong Kong IMI UA" [Whisper artifacts: "ARTM OS" is "ATRS"; "UA" is "Unitized Account."] The IC report at segments 444 also commits to a follow-up China holdings report for the next IC meeting covering "the entire portfolio." The structural significance for this concept page: ATRS operationalized at the portfolio level a policy position documented in the SFOF anti-CCP letter track. The December 2024 SFOF anti-CCP letter (documented above in this concept page as one of the eight Brady-coordinated 2024-2025 SFOF sign-on letters) advocates state-pension and state-treasury divestment from Chinese securities. Approximately one year later, the ATRS Board ratified a portfolio-level divestment-and-redeployment action structurally consistent with the policy position the SFOF letter advanced. The same Board day contained zero substantive references to Israel Bonds (per [[atrs-board-audio-12-1-25]]) — the same pension system that authorized $50 million in Israel sovereign debt six months earlier divested from a passive index fund holding Chinese securities at the next post-vote Board day, with the divestment action consistent with one of the multiple SFOF-coordinated policy positions the Auditor's-office channel runs as documented across this concept page. Whether Brady or any Auditor's-office staff personally coordinated the ATRS Resolution 2025-48 action separately from the SFOF letter track is not established in the 12/1 transcript record. The IC report introducing the resolution attributes the recommendation to Aon consultants ("for BlackRock investment ... is the H.R.S.M.S.C.I.AquiAxChinaAx Hong Kong I.M.I.A.A.A, which stands for Unitized Account" per 20251201B_IC_Audio.transcript.txt segments 420-427) rather than to a Board member's motion. The structural alignment between the ATRS portfolio action and the SFOF-documented policy position nonetheless documents the policy track moving from the letter-circulation operational pattern to ATRS portfolio-level implementation.
