In a joint session of the Maryland General Assembly, Nancy Kopp was elected to a 5th term as State Treasurer.
First elected in 2002, and then re-elected to full four-year terms in 2003, 2007, 2011, and 2015, she is the second woman ever to serve as Maryland’s State Treasurer. In addition to her responsibilities for managing the Office of State Treasurer, as a Constitutional Officer and a representative of the General Assembly, the Treasurer serves on a number of key State Boards and financial planning committees.
Prior to her becoming Treasurer, Kopp represented the Bethesda, Maryland area in the Maryland House of Delegates for 27 years. She chaired the Joint Committee on Spending Affordability, as well as the Appropriations Subcommittee on Education and Economic Development. She also served on the Capital Budget Subcommittee, Subcommittee on Pensions, and Joint Committee on Budget and Audit, and, at various times, as Deputy Majority Leader and Speaker Pro Tem. During her legislative career, Treasurer Kopp was named by her colleagues as the most effective woman legislator and one of the 10 most effective members of the House.
