Secretary of State

The secretary of state runs the duties this state assigns that office. Those duties are not the same in every state. With the state's 53 counties, the office administers elections, and it also registers businesses, keeps official records, and holds the Great Seal of North Dakota.

Michael Howe

Republican

Secretary of state of North Dakota.

His campaign says he was elected the state's 15th secretary of state in 2022, after six years as a state representative and work as a fifth-generation farmer at Howe Seed Farms in Casselton. He is running for another term.

  • He says he wants elections that stay secure and open to every eligible voter, including a citizenship check and a valid North Dakota ID for every form of voting.
  • He says the state uses paper ballots, keeps ballot equipment off the internet, audits elections after the vote, and counts only ballots in by the close of polls.
  • He says he will keep cutting red tape so North Dakota stays an easy place to start and grow a business.

Julie Fedorchak

Republican

Candidate for Congress

The campaign says Julie Fedorchak is a fourth-generation North Dakotan, born in Williston and a University of North Dakota graduate, who later ran a communications business and served on the Public Service Commission.

  • She says that on the Public Service Commission she pushed to finish the Dakota Access Pipeline and to keep coal and oil energy reliable and affordable.
  • Her issues list includes securing the border, reducing the federal debt, backing law enforcement, and defending the Second Amendment.
  • She says she will work with President Trump to secure North Dakota's energy and agricultural future and to support farmers and ranchers.

Trygve Hammer

Democratic

Democratic candidate for North Dakota's U.S. House seat.

His campaign says he grew up in North Dakota, graduated from Velva High School, enlisted in the Navy, and graduated from the Naval Academy before choosing the Marine Corps. He served as a helicopter pilot and as an infantry officer in Iraq, retired as a major, and later taught science, worked in the Bakken, and counseled Job Corps students in Minot.

  • He says Americans pay the world's highest health-care prices and that people should not have to choose between care and rent or food.
  • He says he will protect Social Security and put North Dakota seniors first, and he opposes raising the retirement age.
  • He says profitable corporations and the ultra-wealthy should pay a fair share, and that rural towns need support for public schools and farm markets, with Congress asserting its power over tariffs.
