Treasurer Lynn Fitch issued the following press release:
State
Treasurer Lynn Fitch announced today that recent executive staff
appointments will strengthen her team and enhance the solid leadership
within the Treasury.
Emelia Nordan will assume responsibilities as Policy Director beginning July 1st.
Nordan has been with the Treasurer’s Office since 2012. She began
working with
the College Savings Mississippi Program and more recently has served as
Aide to Treasurer Fitch. Nordan is a graduate of the Trent Lott
Leadership Institute at the University of Mississippi and has a degree
in Public Policy Leadership.
Nordan
will be responsible for legislative affairs, policy development and
oversight for the agency, and coordination of the TEAM (Treasurer’s
Education About Money)
Initiative. “I am very excited to have Emelia step into this important
role. She has already made a strong contribution to the Treasury, and
her policy background will be a tremendous asset to the agency,” said
Treasurer Fitch.
Nordan
fills a vacancy created by the departure of Ashley Comstock. Comstock
has served as Policy Director since the beginning of Treasurer Fitch’s
term in 2012. She is returning to the private
sector to work for Jackson-based, Mississippi Legislative and
Consulting Group, LLC. Her role with this new company will echo her
work at the Treasury, specializing in Government and Business
Development, Public Relations and Lobbying. “I am proud and excited
about this new venture for Ashley. She has been a major asset to this
agency and I look forward to working with her on future projects,” added
Treasurer Fitch.
Marcy
Scoggins, of Madison, will join the Treasurer’s staff as Executive
Assistant to Treasurer Fitch in July. “Marcy has over eighteen years of
experience in government and will benefit the
agency tremendously,” said Treasurer Fitch. Scoggins comes to the
agency after serving as an assistant scheduler for Senate Majority
Leader Trent Lott, and as Director of Scheduling for former Congressman
Chip Pickering and Congressman Gregg Harper. She is
a graduate of the College of Business and Industry at Mississippi State
University.

Oh great, soon she'll have a full cadre of sorority girls on staff so they can pick new furniture AFTER the 2015 campaign. #whoreallycaresanymore
Mississippi "the most corrupt state in the nation".
Lynn Fitch was a dunce when she worked at the legislature. Now she is stumbling through her new job in the same fashion. Impersonating as a leader now.
Uh! Doesn't the elected head of an agency have the authority to appoint those positions? Would she (or he) not appoint someone who would support their position?
Maybe a "Ladies of the Treasury" idea for Playboy, a spinoff of the Girls of the SEC...just an idea. Maybe that's an area that MS could be on the top of the list, rather than bottom
The comments above suggest that these appointments by Fitch demonstrate bad judgment or incompetency. There must be some facts I'm not privy to. Could you please elaborate?
No one needs to worry. The legislature will keep her in check since she has burned all bridges there. And as long as she is in govt I will personally see to it. Let's say it's my honor.
Policy Director, Aids, Executive Assistants. Who the hell does this woman think she is. That she has the authority is beside the point. She obviously wants a little kingdom. Wish I had the contract for box-lunches ordered in for noon 'mission statement' sessions.
Kingfish is censoring again. Maybe he's hoping for an ad from Fitch.
After hiring the governors son in law he now hires the treasurers best friend. Better look out for Charles porter
Wonder if she will be asking for more office space? The Legislature needs to clip her wings! She bought over $50,000 of furniture her first year in office and the Mississippi House has added money every year to her budget. The House leadership needs to grow some balls and treat every agency the same was - no other statewide office got a 15% budget increase last year1
To all the anonymous commenters on this site: Hello, my name is John Wilson and I am Emelia’s Dad. I am not writing to defend my daughter Emelia or the Treasurer Fitch—they don’t need me do that. I am writing to remind us that the right of free speech is an incredible gift. A gift paid for by the sacrifice of untold lives on the gritty battlefields at home, and abroad. I am profoundly grateful that you have the opportunity to comment freely. What saddens me is that you do it with anonymity. One commenter speaks of honor. Honor emanates from a person’s actions and is thereby known to all. There is little honor in secrecy. To the commenter that suggested the calendar, I hope that you one day marry a wonderful woman whom you can love and respect. I hope that you have a daughter. I hope that you will raise her up in a way that she will strive to succeed through hard work, and I hope she will be lovely and attractive. I think you will see the world a little differently then. Most every young lady you disparage under the cloak of your bold anonymity has a father—this one has zero respect for cowards. Use you free speech wisely and honestly. Use this precious right to shine the light of truth in shadowy places, to defend the defenseless, to encourage, and to heal. Please don’t waste it in the way you have here.
