State Sponsors of Terrorism
Steelman was the first major convert to "Divest Terror", a Terror-free investing strategy of the Center for Security Policy that enjoys some national following. As Steelman implements it, the program invests in funds that divest assets in North Korea, Iran, Syria, and Sudan. In her capacity as an "ex officio" board member of a pension system for Missouri government workers, she requested similar divestments from countries on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. However, the "St. Louis Post-Dispatch" reported that Steelman's personal investments failed to comply with this policy.
