The Commissioner of Management and Budget is a state executive position in the Minnesota state government. The commissioner is the state's controller and chief accounting and financial officer, and acts as head of the Office of Management and Budget, which provides a number of financial services to the state including accounting, payroll, and financial reporting.

Per 15.06 of the Minnesota Statutes, the governor appoints the Commissioner of Management and Budget with the consent of the Senate. The commissioner serves at the pleasure of the governor. His or her term expires at the end of the governor's term or if the governor vacates office

The current Minnesota Commissioner of Management and Budget is Erin Campbell (nonpartisan). Campbell assumed office in 2023.

Then there is this.....

In the United States, the treasurer of a state is the official charged with overseeing revenue and finances and generally acting as the state's chief banker. Every state in the United States has a treasurer, though some have a different official title for the office. In New York and Texas there is no treasurer -- instead, those duties are performed by the controller.

Most states elect the treasurer; of those states, it is common for treasurer to be a constitutional executive office. Some states, however, treat the position as a member of the governor's cabinet, thus making the position a gubernatorial appointment.

HIGHLIGHTS
The position of state treasurer exists in 48 states; it is elected in 36 and appointed in 12.
