FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
May 19, 2025

WAHPETON – Representative Cynthia Schreiber-Beck (R-Wahpeton) has passed away.

District 25 Representative Alisa Mitskog (D-Wahpeton) remarked, “I am deeply saddened at the sudden loss of my legislative partner and dear friend. Cindy loved our community and worked tirelessly for our neighbors in southeast North Dakota. From K-12 and higher education to agriculture and aeronautics, Cindy gave her all to move our state forward. North Dakota will miss her leadership, and I will miss my friend.”

House Minority Leader Zac Ista (D-Grand Forks) added, “We’re devastated by the untimely loss of Representative Schreiber-Beck and extend our deepest sympathies to her family and loved ones. Cindy always put the good of her district and our state over party or self-interest. In a time plagued by political division, she and Rep. Mitskog formed an inseparable partnership that delivered time and time again for Richland County. I will remember Cindy as a steadfast champion for public education, and I will cherish my final memory with her as she explained details of the K-12 funding formula to me in the early morning hours of the last day of session.”
