A decorated combat veteran, business leader, and Pennsylvania’s trusted Treasurer—ready to lead with transparency and accountability.
Retired U.S. Army Reserve Colonel, businesswoman, and our Commonwealth’s 78th Treasurer, Stacy Garrity has lived a life of service to her nation, her Commonwealth, and her community.
In uniform, Stacy rose to the rank of Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve, serving three deployments in defense of our nation: Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom.
While prisoner abuse scandals raged, it was Stacy Garrity who emerged as a national leader in managing internment camps for enemy combatants. She kept the camp secure and American troops safe without a single complaint of abuse from Iraqi soldiers interned on her watch. Stacy was twice awarded the Bronze Star and received the Legion of Merit, being hailed as the “Angel of the Desert” for her service.
At home, Stacy Garrity emerged as a groundbreaking Pennsylvania business leader, rising from accountant at Global Tungsten & Powders Corp. to becoming the first of two female vice presidents at the company.
Now as our Commonwealth’s Treasurer, Stacy has focused on cutting waste, eliminating taxpayer abuse, and bringing transparency to Pennsylvania’s government. She understands first-hand the challenges hardworking Pennsylvania families face, and she brings the same commonsense that people use to manage their own finances to the Treasurer’s office.
Stacy works every day to protect more than $170 billion in state assets, serving as a fiscal watchdog for programs like Pennsylvania’s 529 College & Career Savings Program, where she has saved account holders nearly $17 million. For her leadership in spearheading the PA ABLE Savings Program for individuals with disabilities, Stacy was elected the inaugural Chair of the national ABLE Savings Plans Network by her fellow State Treasurers.
Stacy’s work as our Treasurer has directly touched the lives of millions of Pennsylvania families, with more than $1 billion returned to its rightful owners and nearly $10 million returned to Pennsylvania taxpayers through the Treasury’s Money Match program. Each year, the Treasury saves Pennsylvania taxpayers nearly $50 million by identifying overpayments and duplicate payments to the Commonwealth.
As a veteran, Stacy is also focused on returning the hundreds of military decorations being safeguarded in the Treasury’s vault, returning more than 450 military decorations to the veterans who earned them or their families, including 11 Purple Hearts and 3 Bronze Stars.
Now Stacy Garrity is running for Governor to continue her service to Pennsylvania as our Commonwealth’s 49th Governor. She will apply the lessons she’s learned and experiences she’s encountered as a successful businesswoman, soldier, and public servant to make Pennsylvania the Keystone State to grow a business and raise a family.
For all that Stacy has accomplished, Stacy’s never forgotten where she came from. A native of Bradford County, Stacy is a graduate of Sayre High School and Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania, later receiving a certificate from the Cornell University Business Management Institute. Stacy serves on the board of Bradford County United Way and is a trustee of Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre. Stacy resides in Bradford County with her husband Dan and worships at Christian Life Church.
