OK-TREAS: State Treasurer Todd Russ (R) announces campaign for re-election

(Wednesday, June 4th, 2025) State Treasurer Todd Russ announced today that he is running for a second term in 2026. Russ, a Republican, was elected in 2022 with 65 percent of the vote, sweeping all 77 counties.

“As Treasurer, I use my extensive background in banking and business, along with more than a decade of mastering the inner workings of state government, to help conservatively manage Oklahoma’s money and financial resources, significantly improving the state’s financial position,” Russ said.

“It would be my honor to continue serving the citizens of Oklahoma as their State Treasurer. My conservative values align with the vast majority of Oklahomans. I know the value of hard work and the importance of standing for Godly values and honest, ethical leadership,” Russ added.

Under Treasurer Russ’ leadership, the state’s bond rating was twice upgraded by S&P and Moody’s, the nation’s two largest credit rating agencies. Russ also guided Oklahoma’s investment portfolio to the highest earnings in the state’s history. The Treasurer’s Office has given back $89.7 million to everyday Oklahomans by returning their Unclaimed Property, including a historic payment of $3.1 million to a single family. Another program that has been successful under Treasurer Russ is the Oklahoma Education Savings Program, also known as the 529 Plan. This tax-free savings plan can be used for tuition, housing, and almost everything in between. In less than three years, due to the dedicated efforts of Russ and his team, the program has seen a 21.6% increase, totaling more than $250 million in tax-free savings.
