Mumpower Re-Elected to Third Term as Comptroller of the Treasury
The members of the Tennessee Senate and House of Representatives have re-elected Jason E. Mumpower as Tennessee’s Comptroller of the Treasury. The vote was taken during Wednesday’s Joint Convention of the 114th General Assembly.
The 51-year-old native of Bristol is Tennessee’s 35th Comptroller of the Treasury and was re-elected to his third two-year term. Mumpower leads a staff of more than 600 employees working across the state.
The Comptroller’s Office has many responsibilities including auditing state and local government entities, overseeing Tennessee’s 95 county assessors of property, managing the state’s debt, approving local government budgets, and participating in the general financial and administrative management of state government.
Comptroller Mumpower is a graduate of Bristol Tennessee High School and King University (née King College), where he currently serves on the Board of Trustees. His wife, Alicia, 12-year-old son, Max, and his mother, Cathy Wolfenbarger of Bristol, were pleased to attend today’s election. Also in attendance was his brother, Rev. Adam T. Mumpower, who served as Wednesday’s chaplain of the day in the House of Representatives.
“I am grateful to the members of the Tennessee General Assembly for their continued trust and support,” said Mumpower. “It’s my honor and privilege to lead a staff of dedicated professionals who ensure Tennessee governments are fiscally responsible and who are committed to our mission to make government work better for all Tennesseans.”
