FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
May 3, 2025

BISMARCK – The North Dakota Democratic-NPL Policy Committee voted to re-elect Adam Goldwyn as Chair, Kari Breker as Secretary, and Pat Hart as Treasurer. Heather Tyulyandin was elected Vice-Chair. The previous vice-chair, Lisa Finley-DeVille, did not seek re-election.

Goldwyn said, “There are many challenges ahead, and the people are asking us to fight. They are asking us to fight this destructive Trump agenda nationally and a destructive Republican agenda here in North Dakota. For those joining us at the governors dinner tonight, we will have as keynote speaker Harry Dunn, a Capitol police officer who literally put his body and his life on the line for this nation on one of its darkest days. We had all hoped that those dark days were behind us, but they’re not, and we will need his example, a nation of tens of millions of Harry Dunns, engaged in daily small acts of resistance to hold our democracy together and fight for a better future for all Americans. We cannot fail. We must not fail. What we are doing today, what we do tomorrow, what we do every day for the next two and four years is our contribution to that fight, so I thank you for being here. Let’s get to work.”

Tyulyandin remarked, “I live in West Fargo now, but I’m from rural Dickey County and have ties to the community still. I pledge to be accessible and responsive.”

Mark Casler, Trygve Hammer, Jessica Hawkes, Joan Heckaman, Signe Snortland, Olivia Schloegel, Sarah Grossbauer, and Terri Hedman were elected to serve as Regional Representatives on the Democratic-NPL Executive Committee.

The North Dakota Democratic-NPL Policy Committee is composed of each Legislative Democratic-NPL District Chair and a second representative, representatives from each of the 8 Democratic-NPL Regions, DNC Committeeman, DNC Committeewoman, Dem-NPL Chair, Dem-NPL Vice Chair, Dem-NPL Treasurer, Dem-NPL Secretary, Dem-NPL Senate Leader, and Dem-NPL House Leader.
