Five state financial officer positions are on the ballot in today’s elections. Ballotpedia’s “Daily Brew” newsletter ran a short update on the races last week, noting the following:
| “ |
State treasurer races will be decided in Kentucky, Louisiana, and Mississippi, while two state auditor positions will be decided in Kentucky and Louisiana. Republicans currently hold all five positions. These officials collectively make up what are called state financial officers (SFOs). There are 105 such positions nationwide. … In addition to the five SFOs listed above, Virginia’s Auditor of Public Accounts will also be determined this year. Unlike the other officers discussed here, it is not the voters but the General Assembly who fills this position. Different states have different names for these elected officials, but they all fall into three groups: treasurers, auditors, and controllers. Broadly, these officials are responsible for things like auditing other government offices, managing payroll, and overseeing pensions. In some states, certain SFOs are also responsible for investing state retirement and trust funds, meaning they get to decide where that public money goes.[1] |
