Clint Zweifel
Clint Zweifel (born November 3, 1973), is an American politician and businessman who served as the State Treasurer of Missouri from 2009 to 2017. He is a member of the Democratic Party and the most recent member of the party to hold that office. Following his service as State Treasurer, he was appointed as a managing director with Northern Trust, leading a multi-disciplinary team that includes banking, investment management, and trust/advisory services.
Zweifel was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and grew up in the surrounding communities of St. Louis County, Missouri, attending grade school in Florissant and Hazelwood West High School in Hazelwood.
The first member of his family to attend and graduate from college, he earned both a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and an MBA from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Prior to running for public office, Zweifel was the research and education director for the Teamsters Local 688, where one of his chief responsibilities was advising union members nearing retirement on their personal finances. Eisenhower Fellowships selected Zweifel as a USA Eisenhower Fellow in 2009.
Zweifel's wife, Janice, owns a business in St. Louis. They are the parents of two daughters, Selma and Ellie.
Zweifel represented the 78th District in the Missouri House of Representatives. He first won election to the House of Representatives in 2002 by a 67-vote margin and earned the distinction of being the only Democrat in the state to defeat a Republican incumbent in that election year.
While in the House, Zweifel served three terms and led Democratic policy strategy and developed solutions to help Missouri families, developing proposals on early childhood education, helping seniors cope with property taxes, and guarding citizen privacy. He was the ranking member on the Ways and Means Committee and the Special Committee on Tax Reform. He also served on the Special Committee on Retirement, the Joint Committee on Tax Policy, and the Special Committee on State Parks and Waterways.
He chaired the Missouri House Democratic Campaign Committee during the 2006 election cycle, leading all Missouri House candidate recruitment and fundraising efforts for the Democratic Party. The effort resulted in the largest Democratic net gain in the House since the 1978 elections.
In the 2008 election cycle, Zweifel won the Democratic primary for state treasurer, topping a four-candidate field which included 2004 nominee and Arnold, Missouri Mayor Mark Powell, former state Department of Economic Development official Andria Danine Simckes and former Kansas City Mayor Charles Wheeler. He went on to defeat Republican State Senator Brad Lager in the general election. He is the youngest person elected to that office in over a century, celebrating his 35th birthday the day before his election.
