Kansas Insurance Commissioner

Election date: Tuesday, November 3, 2026
Jurisdiction: State of Kansas

Kansas elects its insurance commissioner, and this office touches rates, claims, consumer complaints, and company oversight. Daniel Hawkins and Dinah Sykes are confirmed in statewide filing records, and Ric Koehn was added from the updated SOS general-election list as a Libertarian candidate.

Why It Matters

Insurance decisions affect what Kansans pay for health, auto, crop, and home coverage, and whether regulators push back when companies fail consumers.

What Does This Job Actually Do?

The insurance commissioner regulates every insurance company doing business in Kansas. They approve or reject the rates you pay for health, auto, home, and crop insurance, investigate complaints when companies deny claims, and decide whether insurers are treating customers fairly. If your insurance premiums go up or a claim gets denied, this office is the one with the power to do something about it.
