(KNOX) – North Dakota Tax Commissioner Brian Kroshus said that he will seek reelection for tax commissioner in the 2026 election.

Kroshus, a Republican, was appointed tax commissioner by Gov. Doug Burgum in 2021 and overwhelmingly elected by voters in the 2022 election. Kroshus previously served for five years as a commissioner of the Public Service Commission, including as chair in 2019 and 2020.

“It is a privilege to serve the citizens of North Dakota, and I’m asking voters for the opportunity to continue working on their behalf,” Kroshus said.

In addition to public service, Kroshus has extensive private-sector business leadership experience including managing business units throughout the Midwest and United States. He was a division leader and executive team member for Lee Enterprises, including serving as publisher of Lee Agri-Media, the nation’s largest network of agricultural publications including the Farm & Ranch Guide, and as publisher of the Bismarck Tribune from 2005 to 2015.

“I look forward to continuing to do my part as we work together toward building a stronger North Dakota,” Kroshus said, “one both current and future generations benefit from.”
