Cabinet
Governor Serrano largely inherited the Executive Council (Cabinet) of his predecessor, David Dawson, who resigned his post as Governor of Arizona on January 26, 1717, which would become effective at noon on March 14, 1717. Upon the effect of then-Governor Dawson's resignation at noon on March 14, 1717, then-Senate President Manuel Serrano, as first in line to the Arizona Governorship, succeeded to the Office of Governor and was immediately sworn in and became Governor thereafter at the Arizona State Capitol.

Shortly thereafter, now-Governor Serrano made his way to the Fœderal Capital Territory, for now-former Governor Dawson's inauguration the next day as the first Secretary of the United States Department of the Treasury (Dawson having departed for the FCT immediately after effecting his resignation of the Office of Governor).

World view
Serrano is a self-described Whig. He is also described as a pragmatist and a realist; and is widely-known as a staunch defender of the United States' State-centered Federalist system, often pushing back with other Governors against Federal encroachment upon and occasional usurpation of the Powers reserved to and by the States (such Powers being expressly denied to the United States). Serrano believes that nearly all government policy and action should be undertaken at the State or local level, and the United States may legislate and regulate only within those Matters coming within the actual enumeration of the Classes of Subjects that the United States, by express words of the Federal Constitution Treaty alone, have been expressly been made competent to act &mdash;a viewpoint supported by the actual text of the Federal Constitution Treaty itself.
