Your Oakland County Treasurer, Andy Meisner

Oakland County Treasurer Andy Meisner was elected in November of 2008 after serving three terms in the Michigan House of Representatives, where he chaired the Commerce Committee and served on the House Tax Policy, Education, Judiciary, and New Economy and Quality of Life Committees.  Andy is best known for his work on legislation bringing the motion picture industry to Michigan, stem cell research and reform of the public mental health system.

As Oakland County Treasurer Andy's focus is on preserving the county's prosperity during times of unprecedented financial crisis, preventing mortgage and tax foreclosures that destabilize our communities and threaten property values, and on prudent stewardship and investment of Oakland County taxpayer dollars.

"In electing me Treasurer, the People of Oakland County have given me a sacred responsibility as the guardian of their taxpayer dollars," said Meisner.  "I thank the People for this opportunity, and assure them that my team and I are committed to serving their interests with respect, humility and professionalism.  Working together, we will confront and overcome the challenges of our day."

Andy's public-service career began in 1994 as a Lyndon B. Johnson Fellow in the Washington, D.C. Office of Congressman Sander Levin, where he continued as a congressional aide and gained experience in helping to manage the federal budget and bringing grants home to Oakland County.  Andy worked as vice president of marketing and communications for a national non-profit organization dedicated to community-based prevention of substance abuse and violence, and as corporate communications director for Farbman Group commercial real estate firm.

Andy earned a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Michigan and a law degree from the University of Detroit-Mercy, and is a member of the State Bar of Michigan.
