As state treasurer, Fitzgerald is responsible for investing more than $3 billion of state operating funds, administering the state’s college savings program and overseeing the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt, which has returned more than $218 million in lost property to Iowans. Before being elected Iowa treasurer in 1982, Fitzgerald worked as a marketing analyst at Massey Ferguson Company.
