Gov. Sarah Sanders on Thursday (Aug. 3) appointed Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) Secretary Larry Walther to fill out the term of the late Treasurer of State Mark Lowery.

Lowery died of complications from a stroke in July.

Walther has served as DFA secretary since former Gov. Asa Hutchinson appointed him in 2015. He also served as former Gov. Mike Huckabee’s director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission.

Walther began his career as an engineer at SBC Communications, rising to the role of vice president of corporate services and also serving as chairman of SBC’s Foundation. SBC is now AT&T.
