Sheriff Leben Joins Ethics Commission

Burleigh County Sheriff Kelly Leben, a seasoned law enforcement leader with over 35 years in public service, is stepping into the North Dakota Ethics Commission after a unanimous endorsement from the governor and state legislators. Set to retire as sheriff at year’s end, Leben brings a unique perspective shaped by years of public scrutiny and a deep commitment to ethical integrity. He sees rebuilding public trust as central to his mission and has already signaled interest in becoming North Dakota’s next U.S. Marshal — a move the commission views as non-conflicting due to federal appointment timelines. Meanwhile, the commission continues its search for a second commissioner, interviewing two finalists before a July decision. This marks a full roster overhaul for the Ethics Commission, poised to benefit from Leben’s practical experience and unwavering focus on ethical conduct.
