As Allegheny County’s fiscal watchdog and taxpayer advocate, he has audited major county departments, including the County Jail, Department of Economic Development, Department of Human Services, and the Department of Health. He has also proposed measurable benchmarks for County environmental and climate efforts, advocated health and safety reforms for individuals incarcerated in the Allegheny County Jail, and enacted ethics reform measures on the Allegheny County Retirement Board, among other initiatives.

He serves on Allegheny County’s Retirement Board, Investment Board, Depository Board, and Jail Oversight Board.

Previously, Corey represented Pittsburgh City Council District 5 from 2012 until assuming the Controller’s office. His accomplishments included authoring legislation to require annual audits of the Tax Abatement and Tax Increment Financing Programs, crafting the City of Pittsburgh’s Paid Sick Days Act, and creating the Joint Task Force on Construction Industry Fraud to increase accountability and prevent malpractice throughout the construction industry.

He began his career in public service as a Community Development Representative for U.S. Congressman Mike Doyle. A graduate of Central Catholic High School, Corey is a former varsity golf coach for the Vikings, and led the team to multiple State Team Championships and WPIAL Team Championships.
