Kansas Insurance Commissioner Vicki Schmidt, a lifelong Kansan, was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas. She and her high school sweetheart, Mike, both attended Wichita South High School. Their families lived two blocks from each other, and they shared similar upbringings focused on hard work, honesty, and faith. They headed off to the University of Kansas to continue their education together and then married in 1974. Commissioner Vicki Schmidt graduated from the University of Kansas School of Pharmacy and began work as a pharmacist.

Schmidt has served Kansas families and seniors as a local pharmacist for more than 40 years. It was her professional work experience and her commitment to helping Kansans that motivated her to run for the Legislature. As a pharmacist, Schmidt found errors in the Kansas Medical Assistance Program, errors that were costing the state millions of dollars. She became a voice for reform—speaking up and pushing for cost-effective practices in Medicaid’s drug rebate program, which ultimately resulted in more than $391 million in recouped dollars for the state and taxpayers.

In 2005, Schmidt brought her expertise to the Legislature, where she served for 14 years representing Shawnee and Wabaunsee counties. On November 6, 2018, she was elected Kansas Insurance Commissioner, and was reelected on November 8, 2022—during both elections she received the largest vote count statewide. She became the first pharmacist to serve as Kansas Insurance Commissioner and is the only pharmacist in America currently holding elected statewide office.

As a member of the NAIC, Commissioner Schmidt serves as a member of the Financial Condition (E) Committee, the Financial Regulation Standards and Accreditation (F) Committee, as well as several task forces and working groups. She has served as the chair of the NAIC Midwest Zone, and previously served on the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR) Board of Directors.

Vicki and Mike reside in Topeka, where they raised their two sons. They are also proud grandparents of four grandchildren.
