State insurance commissioner-elect Ken Selzer says creating a more robust market is a top goal of his time in office.
Selzer says greater competition will address problems with the federal health care overhaul.
He is confident that he can attract companies into the state and encourage others already in Kansas to do more business.
Ken Selzer is a Republican and takes office January 12th.
He'll replacing retiring Commissioner Sandy Praeger.
Praeger broke with her fellow Republicans during her time in office by praising the Affordable Care Act for expanding insurance coverage.
Selzer says he'll look for ways to push back against the federal regulation contained in the ACA.
Selzer says promoting competition is a crucial job for a commissioner.
