Democratic State Treasurers

Overview

Twenty-four of the 50 State Treasurer roles in the United States are held either by elected Democrats or by people appointed by elected Democrats. 

There are 14 elected Democratic State Treasures.  Twelve are elected by popular vote, and two (Maryland and Maine) are elected by their State Legislatures. In addition, New York has elected a Democrat as State Comptroller and he fulfills the traditional duties of a State Treasurer.
