Visit Website Explore Careers Directory

Vicki Schmidt was first elected Kansas Insurance Commissioner on November 6, 2018, and reelected to another four-year term on November 8, 2022. She became the first Kansas pharmacist to serve in that role and is the only pharmacist in America currently holding elected statewide office.

It was her experience as a pharmacist that drew her to run for the Kansas Legislature, where she served for 14 years as a state senator, including 12 years as a member of the Financial Institutions and Insurance Committee and six years as chair of the Public Health and Welfare Committee.

Commissioner Schmidt currently serves as vice chair of the NAIC Midwest Zone and co-vice chair of the Financial Regulation Standards and Accreditation (F) Committee. She also serves as a member of the Life Insurance and Annuities (A) Committee, International Insurance Relations (G) Committee, and the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR) Board of Directors.

Since joining the NAIC, she has chaired the Property and Casualty Insurance (C) Committee, and also served as a member of the Health Insurance and Managed Care (B) Committee, and the Market Regulation and Consumer Affairs (D) Committee. She is a former member of the Management Committee for the Interstate Insurance Compact, and a former member of the NAIC System for Electronic Rates and Forms Filing (SERFF) Advisory Board.

Commissioner Schmidt and her high school sweetheart, Michael Schmidt, MD, have been married for over 45 years. She graduated from KU’s School of Pharmacy and has worked more than 40 years as a local pharmacist. They made their home in Topeka, where they raised their two sons. They are also proud grandparents of four.
