Insurance Agent to Run for Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner Post

February 25, 2010

A Tulsa, Okla.-area insurance agent says he plans to run for state insurance commissioner this fall.

Republican John Doak said he plans to mount a statewide campaign for the job now held by Insurance Commissioner Kim Holland, a Democrat who announced earlier this month she will seek re-election.

Currently an insurance agent for State Farm, Doak says Oklahoma needs conservative leaders at all levels of government.

He says the state’s insurance commissioner should be a strong voice for Oklahoma consumers and be fair to businesses who create jobs.

Doak says reforms are needed to combat rising insurance costs but that they should occur at the state level, not in Washington. He says he will work closely with state leaders to implement the best reforms possible.
