Hammer to host People’s Town Hall in Minot on July 31

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
July 21, 2025

MINOT –Trygve Hammer, 2024 Democratic-NPL Congressional Candidate and veteran Marine, will field questions about the issues North Dakota and our nation face today. An RSVP is not required, but appreciated.

WHEN: Thursday, July 31, 2025, 7:00 PM
WHERE: Carnegie Center, 105 2nd Ave SE, Minot, ND 58701

Hammer said, “I have been critical of North Dakota’s Federal delegation and of Congresswoman Fedorchak in particular for not holding in-person town hall events. Fedorchak has said that her telephone town halls are “safe” and “effective,” as if a town hall event were some unpleasant medicine or a tough pill to swallow. I am ready to be more than a critic, I am willing to interact with North Dakotans who disagree with me, and I am able to do so without fear or any feeling of bitter medicine being shoved down my throat.”

Hammer is a retired Marine Corps officer and a veteran of the Global War on Terror. In his civilian life, he’s taught 7-12 grade science in a rural school, worked as a roughneck on oil rigs in the Bakken, as a freight rail conductor, and as a counselor for Job Corps in Minot, aiming to give young people a hand up in starting their lives. Hammer currently serves as a Regional Representative on the North Dakota Democratic-NPL Executive Committee.
