Jason E. Mumpower was reelected Comptroller of the Treasury during a joint convention of the Tennessee General Assembly on Jan. 15, 2025, and was sworn into office.
Representative Moon nominated Mumpower, citing “28 years” of public service split between the General Assembly and the comptroller’s office; Senator White seconded the nomination.

The Senate vote was reported as 27 for Mumpower and 6 for Thompson; the House was reported as 74 for Mumpower and 22 for Thompson. The presiding officer declared Jason E. Mumpower duly, legally and constitutionally elected Comptroller of the Treasury for the ensuing two years.
Judge Neil McBrayer of the Tennessee Court of Appeals administered the oath of office. In his remarks after the oath, Mumpower thanked members and his family and addressed the comptroller’s office staff: “I am very glad to have with me today my wife, Alicia. My son, Max. My mother… And I want to give a special shout out to all the employees of the comptroller’s office who do a great job.” He closed his brief remarks by saying, “In the comptroller’s office, our mission is to make government work better. Let’s get to work. God bless the state of Tennessee.”
The convention then moved to the election of the state treasurer.
