North Dakotans want more instructional options while defending public schools. This can be achieved by ensuring schools have sufficient resources and autonomy, along with high expectations and accountability to ensure every student has access to a personalized education. Dual credits taught by high school teachers should be more affordable for families.

The Department of Public Instruction should be a partner—not a barrier. Levi understands that families care most about how schools are run, what students are learning, and whether they’re being prepared for life—not just spending levels or test scores. He will work alongside district leaders, educators, and parents to support what matters most: student success.

Levi believes in investing in our children today to secure North Dakota’s prosperity tomorrow. Politicalization of schools must be rejected. Students need high academic and behavioral expectations. Education funding needs to be reprioritized in Bismarck. To make the most of every tax dollar, resources should go into the classroom and not educational bureaucracy. He believes in a system where students graduate inspired, challenged, and ready for the real world. To get there, education policy needs to be driven by parents and teachers, not Bismarck politicians. Our public schools are good today, but together, we can lead the nation.

Public schools are an investment in our future- their importance cannot be overstated. The American Dream is rooted in the idea that everyone has a right to an effective education and our teachers help make that dream a reality for North Dakota’s students. Rewarding them doesn’t mean higher taxes. It means smarter spending. Over the last ten years North Dakota has reduced the percentage of its budget dedicated to teacher pay. That needs to change.

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.
