Trygve Hammer
Congress
- North Dakotans have had enough of government for the privileged, by the privileged.
- I’m running to represent regular North Dakotans and to bring working class values back to Congress again.
- In 2010, I retired from the Marine Corps Reserve as a major. After returning to North Dakota in 2016, I taught science at 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.

John Pederson

- North Dakota landowners should have a voice in what crosses their land.
- If you benefit from North Dakota’s resources, you’re responsible for what you leave behind. That’s not a burden — it’s stewardship.

Scot Kelsh
Public Service Commission
- I am running for the Public Service Commission to listen to you, to respect you as a stakeholder. I'm a former State Representative.
- Data centers, the accompanying infrastructure, and those who are obliged to regulate are ignoring the needs of those affected.
- Landowners and local governments need to have a seat at the table and a voice in decisions. Secrecy breeds corruption.
