Roger Sevigny has been reappointed as New Hampshire's insurance commissioner by Gov. Maggie Hassan.
The appointment now awaits final approval from the state's Executive Council.
The nomination was made to the Executive Council on May 15.
Sevigny was originally appointed to the job by Republican Gov. Craig Benson in 2003.
Hassan is a Democrat, but Democrats control the Executive Council, 3-2, as a result of last November's election.
Sevigny is a former president of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and currently is chairman of the NAIC's Producer Licensing Task Force.
