In rare company

With his re-election in 2008 and four more years of service, Treasurer Perdue will be tied for the second-longest tenured stint as Treasurer in state history. Leading the pack is R.E. Talbott (D-Barbour), who served from 1932 to 1950. W.S. Johnson (R-Fayette) held office from 1916 to 1932.
