George B. "Jeb" Spaulding (born December 28, 1952, in Manchester, Massachusetts) is the former State Treasurer of Vermont and current Secretary of Administration under Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin. Spaulding served four terms as State Treasurer (2003–2011) and, in 2009, also served as President of the National Association of State Treasurers.[1] Previously, Spaulding represented Washington County for eight terms (1985–2001) in the Vermont State Senate, where he chaired the Appropriations Committee, the Education Committee, the Joint Fiscal Committee and the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules.
Spaulding was the founder of radio station WNCS FM 104.7 in Montpelier and was a general partner in Precision Media, Inc. He also served as the Director of Career and Workforce Development at the Vermont Department of Education, and as Director of the Vermont Academy of Science and Technology at Vermont Technical College. He has been an adjunct professor of communications at Norwich University.
Spaulding considered running for Governor of Vermont in 2010,[2] [3] but opted instead to seek re-election to a fifth term as State Treasurer. Spaulding faced token opposition and won re-election with 90% of the vote.[4]
On November 15, 2010, Gov.-Elect Peter Shumlin nominated Spaulding to be the incoming Secretary of Administration, the senior Cabinet position in the Executive Branch.[5] He resigned his elective office in January 2011.
