If you mean the US Secretary of State (currently Condoleezza Rice), then this individual is selected by the president and confirmed by the United States Senate).
See:

and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Secretary_Of_State
If you mean a Secretary of State of an individual state in the US (California, Alaska, Hawaii, Texas, etc.), then that one is elected by the voters of that specific state.
