Other elected members include Lieutenant Governor Adam Gregg (R), Secretary Of Agriculture Mike Naig (R) , Attorney General Tom Miller (D), Auditor Rob Sand( D ), Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald( D ). Alongside these officers are agencies such as Department on Aging, Administrative Services Department, Natural Resources & Outdoor Recreation etc., all dedicated to ensuring efficient running of specific areas related to services provided by the state government .
