Sandy Praeger, Republican (Incumbent)
1. Why do you believe you are best qualified to be insurance commissioner?
My tenure as insurance commissioner has been a successful one. Since taking office in 2003, we have admitted almost 190 new companies to do business in Kansas and have recovered more than $91 million in disputed claims for consumers.
I will continue pushing forward with anti-fraud initiatives and providing leadership on insurance reform initiatives so that we maintain our effective state-based system of regulation. My top priorities have been and remain advocating for consumers’ rights, ensuring a competitive insurance marketplace and creating a balanced environment for businesses and consumers.

1. Why do you believe you are best qualified to be insurance commissioner?
I have 33 years experience in the insurance industry, working directly with individuals, families and businesses throughout the state. I have invested the time to educate myself by obtaining advanced degrees in insurance, receiving chartered life underwriter, chartered financial consultant, certified financial planner and registered health underwriter degrees from several universities. Each took three to five years. I have hands-on experience to go with knowledge. I am not a career politician.
