History
Since the creation of the office with the state's constitution in 1889, the state has seen a total of 22 insurance commissioners. The commissioners have served relatively short terms when compared with North Dakota's other state offices; the longest tenure was that of Sveinung A. Olsness who served for 18 years, and the average time in office has been about 6 years. The office has been held by the North Dakota Republican Party for a wide majority of its existence; only four of the 22 insurance commissioners were from the state's Democratic Party. The insurance commissioner originally served a two-year term, but this was extended to four in 1964 by a constitutional amendment.
