The reason I chose to enter public service is that I have a deep and sincere desire to help preserve the principles that make North Dakota an incredible place to call home. Like many North Dakotans, I believe in limited government, conservative values, respecting citizen’s rights and the need to apply those ideals to how government works.

Executive public-record methodology
An executive record will attach only from official orders, directives, vetoes, signed actions, legal filings, or direct official statements that explicitly attribute the action to this person. Agency outcomes and events during an administration are not inferred as personal actions.
Official filings may be amended after publication.
North Dakota's official campaign-finance search is linked. No amount attaches until one exact candidate or committee identity, compatible 2026 election, reporting period, and amendment state are captured. Missing values are not zero.
Claims that did not clear the publication standard remain visibly excluded.
Reason: NO_STABLE_ELIGIBLE_PUBLIC_RECORD_IDENTITY_ATTACHED
Names and candidate-stated prior service alone never attach another person's records.
Every profile claim points back to retained source evidence.
