The '''State Treasurer of Oklahoma''' is the chief custodian of Oklahoma’sOklahoma's cash deposits, monies from bond sales, and other securities and collateral and directs the investments of those assets. The treasurer provides for the safe and efficient operation of state government through effective banking, investment, and cash management. The state treasurer has the powers of a typical chief financial officer for a corporation.<ref>[[State treasurer]]</ref>

==Office of Treasurer==
Line 29 ⟶ 30:
 
===Term(s) of office===
The state treasurer’streasurer's four-year term begins on the first Monday in January falling the general election and runs concurrently with that term of the Governor of Oklahoma. The [[Constitution of Oklahoma]] places no limit to the number of terms a candidate may serve in succession or in total.
 
===Oath of office===
Line 106 ⟶ 107:
 
==Relationship with the governor==
The state treasurer is an independently elected officer with both constitutional and statutory authority. As such, the governor has no direct authority over the state treasurer. However, Oklahoma's history of electing governors and treasurers of the same party has often led to positive working relationships between the two offices. With Governor [[Kevin Stitt]] and State Treasurer [[Randy McDaniel]], both Republicans, Oklahoma has had a governor and state treasurer of the same party since 2003.
 
The state treasurer is the state's elected chief fiscal officer and is directly accountable to the voters. In contrast, the governor's secretary of finance reports directly to the governor. Only once in recent history has a state treasurer also served as the governor's budget advisor; Governor Brad Henry appointed Miller's predecessor [[Scott Meacham]] as his [[Oklahoma Secretary of Finance and Revenue|secretary of finance and revenue]], giving Meacham supervision over all finance agencies of the State government.
