Stacy Garrity, 78th Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, businesswoman and retired U.S. Army Reserve Colonel: βI've been Pennsylvania State Treasurer for nearly three years.

Stacy was elected on November 3, 2020, and was sworn into office on January 19, 2021. Since taking office, she has worked to make PA 529 accounts work better for Pennsylvanians of all backgrounds by cutting fees (saving account holders more than $11 million), eliminating the minimum deposit required to open an account, and allowing families to make contributions as low as $1. During her tenure, the number of PA 529 accounts has grown to more than 296,000 while total assets have grown to more than $7.3 billion.
Stacy has also cut fees for PA ABLE multiple times. Under her leadership, the number of PA ABLE accounts has grown to more than 8,500, and total PA ABLE assets have nearly tripled to over $115 million. She was elected as the inaugural Chair of the ABLE Savings Plan Network, a group formed by the National Association of State Treasurers, and she was a vocal advocate for the federal ABLE Age Adjustment Act, which will make ABLE programs available to an additional 6 million people with disabilities β including 1 million veterans.
Stacy is committed to making it as easy as possible for people to receive unclaimed property which belongs to them. She oversaw the first systemwide upgrade to Treasuryβs unclaimed property system in more than 15 years, implemented a fast-track return system for simple claims, introduced the use of direct deposit payments, and added Pennsylvania to the national website MissingMoney.com. To date, she has returned more than $700 millions of unclaimed property to its rightful owners β including setting records for the most unclaimed property returned in a single year ($273.7 million in FY 22-23) and the most returned in a two-year period (over $500 million combined in FY 22-23 and FY 23-24).
