Lisa Edison-Smith Appointed to North Dakota Ethics Commission

Jul 7, 2026 | 12:09 PM

West Fargo attorney Lisa Edison-Smith has been appointed to the North Dakota Ethics Commission.

The appointment follows a Tuesday morning meeting of the selection committee, made up of Governor Kelly Armstrong, Senate Majority Leader David Hogue, and Senate Minority Leader Kathy Hogan.

Edison-Smith was one of two remaining finalists for the seat, along with state Insurance and Securities Department attorney Garrett Bryan.

She replaces Ron Goodman, a former judge with ties to Oakes, Dickey County, and LaMoure County, who announced he would retire once a successor was chosen.

The Ethics Commission handles state ethics rules, complaints, and advisory opinions tied to transparency and accountability in North Dakota government.

The North Dakota Monitor has a feature story on her appointment today online.
