In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“It’s time to put the government to work for all of us. I have served my country in the military, worked on the oilfield rigs, and taught North Dakota students as a 7-12th grades science teacher. Now, I’m working to have everyday North Dakotans represented in Washington again.”
“I’m Trygve Hammer, a fourth-generation North Dakotan, retired Marine, and former oilfield roughneck, union railroad worker, and public school teacher.”
“I will debate Julie Fedorchak anytime, anywhere, on any stage she will agree to, because I am not afraid to defend what I believe or to answer to the people I want to serve.”
“I spent 25 years in uniform and deployed to Iraq as a Marine. I have never once run from a fight worth having, and I am not about to start now.”
