AARP - State Treasurer

The Office of the Connecticut Treasurer (OTT) was established way back in 1638. The State Treasurer is the chief elected fiscal officer for State government, overseeing a wide range of activities regarding the prudent management of State funds. This includes the administration of a portfolio of pension assets for more than 190,000 beneficiaries and plan participants and a short-term investment fund utilized by agencies of municipal and state government. Connecticut's current Tresurer is Democrat Denise Nappier who was first elected in November 1998. She is not running for re-election this November, so when voters go to the polls, they will choose between Republican Thad Gray and Democrat Shawn Wooden.
