Oklahoma County Clerk
Oklahoma County Clerk Maressa Treat is a proud Oklahoman with the heart of a community advocate. Maressa was elected to this role in April 2023 and was re-elected in April 2024 after not drawing an opponent. Serving the people of Oklahoma in this capacity is one of the most fulfilling roles of her life.
Maressa previously worked for U.S. Senator James Lankford as Finance Director and Director of State Outreach. Her prior experience with the State Chamber as Director of Strategic Partners and the office of the Oklahoma Secretary of Energy taught her how government can facilitate a thriving environment for businesses and families.
Treat sits on the Oklahoma County Budget Board and the Retirement Board. She also serves on nonprofit boards including the YWCA of Oklahoma City, Positive Tomorrows, LiveFree OKC, and ReMerge. Notably, she provides guidance as 2nd Vice Chair of the WCA Executive Board to give survivors of domestic violence a strong voice and hope for a brighter future. Recently, the Oklahoma Hispanic Institute named Maressa as one of the top 40 Hispanic leaders.
Treat and her husband, Greg, live in northwest Oklahoma County with their three children, Mason, Cooper, and Olivia. They are incredibly grateful to God for his grace this past year after a horrific wreck nearly claimed the life of Mason. Prayers from all over helped lift the family up and gave them the strength they needed to get through the challenging time.
