Georgia Neese Clark Gray (1898–1995) was the first woman to hold the office of the Treasurer of the United States. Gray was active in the state Democratic Party and was elected Democratic National Committee member from Kansas in 1936, a position she held until 1964. She was an articulate and well-liked representative of the party and an early supporter of Harry S. Truman. It was this support that brought about her nomination as the first woman to be Treasurer of the United States, a post she held from 1949 to 1953.
