This page relates the history of the position of Oklahoma Secretary of Commerce and Tourism.

The Secretary served as the chief advisor to the Governor on economic development and cultural heritage.

In 2012–2013, Secretary Dave Lopez became the first to not serve in that dual position when he resigned as Executive Director and Jonna Kirschner was appointed to replace him in that capacity alone.

As of fiscal year 2011, the Secretary of Commerce and Tourism oversees 1883 full-time employees and is responsible for an annual budget of $758 million.

Since incumbent Cabinet Secretary Dave Lopez also serves as the Commerce Department Director, he received the salary allowed for that position.
