## Resource

North Dakota’s Ethics Commission just got a major shakeup with the appointment of Burleigh County Sheriff Kelly Leben, a 35-year law enforcement veteran set to retire from his sheriff’s role at year’s end. He’ll fill the vacancy left by Cynthia Lindquist until August 2027, bringing fresh, real-world ethical insight honed through decades in the public eye. Governor Kelly Armstrong praised his unique perspective, while Leben hinted at future ambitions to become U.S. Marshal — a move officials say won’t conflict with his commission duties. With all original commissioners now gone, the board is poised for a new era, and another open seat remains under consideration.
