(North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakota Democrats rallied for a turnaround endorsing several candidates for statewide office to take on Republicans in November.
The Democratic-NPL Party endorsed state Sen. Ryan Braunberger of Fargo for secretary of state, Scot Kelsh of Fargo and John Pederson of Mayville for Public Service Commission and Tim Lamb of Grand Forks for attorney general. The party also issued a letter of support for Tracy Foss of Hatton for superintendent of public instruction.
Democrats have 429 delegates participating, which Party Chair Adam Goldwyn said is the most since 2018. The party has 49 legislative candidates so far, but Goldwyn challenged attendees to field candidates in districts that don’t yet have anyone running.
“The North Dakota Democratic-NPL party has one goal: contest every single election up and down the ballot all across the state,” Goldwyn said.
BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – North Dakota Highway Patrol, Mandan police and Bismarck police were all assisting on an incident Bismarck police say started in Mandan Saturday evening.
Multiple law enforcement vehicles were seen in downtown Bismarck and eventually ended up near Sanford Hospital.
Sanford officials say the hospital was placed under a modified lockdown for a short period of time. The lockdown has lifted.
At this time, no patients or employees were injured.
We will have more on this story as information becomes available.
