Port: Some North Dakota Republican convention delegates may protest if Trump names Burgum as VP


MINOT — To understand what I’m about to relate to you, you must first understand just who it is that the North Dakota Republican Party sent to Milwaukee as delegates to the GOP’s national convention.

The list of delegates is a who’s-who of the NDGOP’s far-right flank. Among them is Lori Hinz, one of the NDGOP’s national committee members, who has been

outspoken in her criticism of Gov. Doug Burgum

and, specifically, the possibility that former President Donald Trump might choose Gov. Doug Burgum as his running mate. Not among the delegates (they were relegated to alternate status) are Burgum, his wife Kathryn, Congressman Kelly Armstrong, and U.S. House nominee Julie Fedorchak. Just to to put an exclamation point behind that factoid, Burgum may well be chosen as VP at this convention, but was not chosen as a delegate by the NDGOP convention.

Hinz has

lambasted Burgum on social media,

calling on Trump’s vetters to “do some on-the-ground investigation rather than jumping on the bandwagon so blindly, relying on purchased favorable articles, sycophants, and skewed internet searches.”

Also among the attendees is state Rep. Matthew Heilman, state Sen. Donna Henderson, failed U.S. House candidate Rick Becker, Jeff Hinz (husband to Lori), Paul Henderson (husband to Donna), Andrea Toman (who managed Becker’s failed campaign), District 10 legislative candidate Jared Hendrix and a laundry list of other names that anyone familiar with North Dakota politics would recognize as Burgum’s enemies.

These delegates were elected at the NDGOP’s state convention,

which was controlled by a far-right wing of the party

that is deeply out of touch with North Dakota’s larger Republican electorate.

Now, the story: These delegates may be planning a public protest against Trump’s choice of Burgum, if that is indeed the choice he makes.

That’s based on multiple sources in Republican leadership, including some traveling to Milwaukee as alternate delegates.

The concern over these potential protests is so high, one prominent Republican told me, that the North Dakota delegation has been seated at the back of the convention hall. “They’re basically seated in a hallway that’s almost kind of off the convention floor,” one in-the-know source told me. “The only view they have is forward. The only way they can look is forward, and they have two whips assigned to them.”

State Auditor Josh Gallion, who is chairing the delegation, told me he hadn’t heard anything about a potential protest. “I’m not aware of anything like that,” he said via text message while working his way through convention security.

If Burgum is chosen as VP —

and, reportedly, we may get that announcement as soon as today

— you would expect that convention organizers would want his home state delegates front and center in the crowd. It could be that they’re not because Burgum isn’t the pick. Or it could be that organizers don’t want an anti-Burgum demonstration to make the broadcast at the convention.

This sort of revolt from convention delegates against their own party leaders is rare, but not unprecedented. During the 2016 cycle,

North Dakota delegates censured then-Sen. Heidi Heitkamp

for her support of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign over that of Sen. Bernie Sanders. The rebuke was so sharp that Heitkamp

did not cast her votes

for the presidential candidate at the convention.

Burgum has been a popular governor. He was elected in landslides in 2016, and 2020, and, had he sought a third term, would have won reelection handily, I think. His aspirations for vice president have the vocal support of North Dakota’s congressional delegation — including Sen. Kevin Cramer, Sen. John Hoeven and Rep. Kelly Armstrong (currently campaigning to be our next governor).

But ironically, despite the effort he’s put in to

ingratiate himself with Trump and his political movement

in previous weeks, Burgum has never been popular with the NDGOP’s Trumpiest factions.

Summit League tournament: Omaha women bounce North Dakota


SIOUX FALLS — Ali Stephens had 17 points and 13 rebounds and 8th-seeded Omaha defeated 9th-seeded North Dakota 49-39 in the first round of the Summit League women’s tournament.

The Fighting Hawks had a tough time putting the ball in the hoop all night long, scoring just three points in the first quarter and having only marginally better luck from there.

UND (7-24) shot just 23.5 percent from the floor (12-for-51) and made 1-of-20 shots from outside the arc. Walker Demers and Mackenzie Hughes had 10 points each to lead the Hawks, with Demers adding eight rebounds.

Members of the Omaha women’s basketball team cheer for their teammates during the opening game of the Summit League tournament on March 4, 2026 at the Premier Center in Sioux Falls.

Regan Juenemann had 10 points and five rebounds for the Mavericks while Avril Smith had seven points and 16 rebounds and Sarai Estupinan eight points, five assists and three rebounds. Omaha (6-26) shot the ball slightly better than the Hawks, going 16-of-53 from the field (30 percent) and 8-of-23 (35 percent) on 3-pointers.

With the win, the Mavs earn a date with top-seed North Dakota State on Thursday at 2:30 p.m.
The Bison won both regular season matchups by more than 50 points.

Oral Roberts 84, Kansas City 62 — Don’t look now but the team that started the conference season 0-10 and at one point lost 15 of 16 games might be the hottest in the Summit League.

Oral Roberts picked up their fourth straight victory on Wednesday night in the conference tournament opener, routing Kansas City at the Premier Center in the 8/9 “play-in” game.

Ty Harper had 22 points to lead the Golden Eagles (10-22), who took a 44-21 lead by halftime and never looked back. ORU shot 50 percent from the floor and made 13-of-27 3-pointers while the Kangaroos shot just 34 percent and made 6-of-24 from deep. Martins Kilups had 17 points for the Eagles and Connor Dow added 14.

Jayson Petty had 14 points to lead the Kagaroos, who finish the season 4-27. It was their final game under coach Marvin Menzies, whom the school announced earlier this season would not return next year.

With the win ORU advances to face top-seed North Dakota State on Thursday at 6 p.m.
The Golden Eagles lost to NDSU 86-58 in Tulsa on Jan. 24 but they took the Bison to overtime in Fargo on Jan. 3 in a 79-77 loss.

The North Dakota Attorney General issued an opinion to the ND State Auditor – North Dakota Attorney General

The North Dakota Attorney General issued an opinion to the ND State Auditor

March 4, 2026

Media Contact: Suzie Weigel, 701.328.2210

BISMARCK, ND – It is the opinion that federal law does not prevent the state from auditing P&A and even though P&A possesses confidential records, N.D.C.C. § 54-10-22.1 and 42 C.F.R. § 51.45(c) authorize the state auditor and the employees of the auditor’s office, to review the records without detriment to P &A.

Also, whether Rule 1.6 of the North Dakota Rules of Professional Conduct for licensed attorneys prohibits P&A from disclosing to the State Auditor the contents of a client file for the purpose of conducting a non-financial performance audit under N.D.C.C. ch. 54-10 when the requested file includes information about individuals and businesses in the private sector who chose to contact P &A.

This issue was already addressed in a 1995 opinion of this office regarding P&A. The 1995 opinion highlighted that P&A has authority to contract with private attorneys to represent private individuals. 17 During that performance audit, auditors asked to see billings from the contracted attorneys. 18 P&A redacted the names of the individuals represented by the contract attorneys under the rules for attorney-client privilege or attorney-client confidentiality. 19 The names of individuals seeking services of P&A are protected under N.D.C.C. § 25-01.3. The opinion stated:

Thus, P&A’s records which indicate to whom its services were provided are available to the State Auditor for performance audit purposes. The State Auditor has
been given access by P&A to its records other than the attorney’s billings. Therefore, the State Auditor already has access to the names of the persons to whom P&A
provides services. State law requires that the State Auditor and his employees must keep such information confidential.

Here, P&A has not identified a specific record. Given that, I rely on the past opinions declaring that records made confidential by N.D.C.C. § 25-01.3-10 are available under N.D.C.C. § 54-10-22 to the State Auditor and the Auditor’s employees for audit purposes.
