Fong was appointed Tax Commissioner in 2005 by Governor John Hoeven following the resignation of Rick Clayburgh (who left the job to become executive director of the North Dakota Bankers Association). He was elected to the position in 2006, when he faced Brent Edison, 53% to 47%, after a heated campaign.
Fong began his career in public service at the North Dakota Secretary of State's office, first as a staffer, then as state elections director, and finally, Deputy Secretary of State. Fong's responsibilities included addressing the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). In 2004, Fong was a leader of the John Hoeven re-election campaign. He is married to Cecily Fong, and has one stepson, Conrad Eggers.
He resigned as Tax Commissioner effective December 31, 2013, to join the public affairs division of Odney Advertising.[1] On February 1, 2016, Fong became the communications director for MDU Resources Group Inc.[2]
