North Dakota Democrats field more challengers for legislative seats
North Dakota’s Democratic-NPL Party is seeing an uptick in legislative candidates, and leaders report higher interest from members wanting to attend the party’s state convention.
But other than three candidates for North Dakota’s sole U.S. House seat, Democrats have yet to announce campaigns for statewide office.
Twelve Democratic candidates received endorsements from districts in the Bismarck-Mandan area earlier this month, the most since 2016 when 11 regional Democratic candidates were endorsed.
“We’re quite excited about the prospect of a very unified, coordinated campaign with all of our legislative candidates in the Bismarck-Mandan area,” said Bob Valeu, chair of the Bismarck-Mandan Dem-NPL organization.
