Democrat announces for state treasurer

A political newcomer with 34 years of financial experience said today he is running for state treasurer.

Jon Robinson of Newcastle is the first Democrat to announce for the post.

Robinson, 56, worked previously for 12 years in the state auditor and inspector’s office. He left state government in 1996 and worked for several businesses. Since 2004, he worked for four American Indian tribes.

State Treasurer Scott Meacham, a Democrat, is not seeking re-election.

Two Republicans, former state Sen. Owen Laughlin from Woodward and state Rep. Ken Miller of Edmond, have said they plan to file for the treasurer’s post. The filing period is in June.
