North Dakota tax commissioner announces run for reelection

BISMARCK, N.D. (KVRR) — North Dakota Tax Commissioner Brian Kroshus announced on Wednesday that he will seek reelection for tax commissioner in the 2026 election.

Kroshus was appointed as tax commissioner in 2021 by former North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum.

Kroshus said his priorities as tax commissioner will be a fiscally responsible government, effectively representing citizens, and transparency and fairness.

Before serving as tax commissioner, he served for five years as a commissioner of the Public Service Commission.

“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.”

Kroshus was born in Fargo and is a graduate of North Dakota State University. In addition to his business and state roles, he has served on numerous volunteer boards, including with the Missouri Slope United Way, Bismarck State College, Bismarck-Mandan Chamber of Commerce, Bismarck-Mandan Development Association, Sanford Health Foundation and Capital Gallery.
