Kim Holland
Kim Holland (born August 6, 1955) is an American politician and insurance professional from the U.S. state of Oklahoma. Holland served as the Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner until January 2011. She was appointed to that position by Governor Brad Henry in 2005, following the indictment and resignation of her predecessor, Carroll Fisher.〔"(Insurance commissioner will seek another term )," ''The Oklahoman'', February 2, 2010 (accessed February 12, 2010).〕 The second woman to serve as the state insurance commissioner, she was re-elected in 2006 to her own four-year term. In 2010, attempting to gain her second full term in office, Holland faced Republican nominee John D. Doak, who defeated her in November's general election. Doak assumed office on Jan. 10, 2011.〔

After her appointment in 2005, Holland faced a tough challenge from Bill Case, a former state representative, in 2006. Case trailed behind Holland in fundraising, raising $135,244 to Holland's $717,000 by the end of October.〔Clay, Nolan and Michael McNutt. "(Henry leads in funding )," ''The Oklahoman'', October 31, 2006 (accessed February 12, 2010).〕
During the election an independent group known as "Just the Facts America" launched a blistering attack upon Holland on television, citing her lack of a college education and legal insurance industry contributions to Holland's campaign. It was later revealed that "Just the Facts America" was in fact a misnomer for an attack organization of an interesting ethical persuasion largely subsidized by Texas businessman Gene Phillips, whom Holland has often opposed.〔"(Voter beware: Read the fine print in campaign ads )," ''The Oklahoman'', October 31, 2006 (accessed February 12, 2010).〕
In the end, Holland was able to collect 52 percent of the votes to carry the election.〔(Election Results ), Oklahoma State Election Board (accessed February 12, 2010).〕
