Cole McNary (born July 10, 1964) is an American educator and a former Republican member of the Missouri House of Representatives. He represented the 86th district, which includes Chesterfield from 2009 to 2013. He was the Republican nominee for Missouri State Treasurer in the 2012 election. He subsequently ran for the Monarch Fire Board.

Early life and career Cole McNary is the son of Gene McNary, the former Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Executive Director of the Missouri Gaming Commission, and County Executive of St. Louis County. In 2010, he won reelection without opposition. He was one of thirty-nine state legislators to sign a no new taxes pledge. After redistricting drew incumbent Missouri State Representatives John Diehl and Rick Stream into the same district as McNary, McNary declared his intention to run for State Treasurer of Missouri in 2012. A large part of his campaign was his experience as chairman of the downsizing state government committee in the state house.
