SECRETARY OF FINANCE
The Secretary of Finance provides guidance to the four key agencies within the Finance Secretariat. These agencies handle all the financial transactions of the Commonwealth - from collecting taxes to paying bills to distributing aid to localities. Their responsibilities include: forecasting and collecting revenues; managing the Commonwealth's cash and investments; selling bonds; overseeing internal audits; making strategic financial plans; and preparing and executing the Commonwealth's budget.
Two individuals served as Secretary of Finance during Governor Timothy M. Kaine’s administration (2006-2010). Jody Wagner served from January 2006 to August 2008 when she resigned to seek the 2009 Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor. Ric Brown, Director of the Department of Planning Budget, was selected by Governor Kaine to succeed Wagner. Brown was reappointed by Governor Robert McDonnell (2010-2014).
Per § 2.2-126 of the Code of Virginia, records of the Office of the Governor will be made accessible to the public after they have been processed by the Library of Virginia.
