North Dakota Democrats endorse several statewide candidates

North Dakota Democrats rallied for a turnaround Saturday, endorsing several candidates for statewide office to take on Republicans in November.

The Democratic-NPL Party endorsed state Sen. Ryan Braunberger of Fargo for secretary of state, Scot Kelsh of Fargo and John Pederson of Mayville for Public Service Commission and Tim Lamb of Grand Forks for attorney general. The party also issued a letter of support for Tracy Foss of Hatton for superintendent of public instruction.

Democrats have 452 delegates participating, which Party Chair Adam Goldwyn said is the most since 2018. The party has 49 legislative candidates from 21 districts so far, but Goldwyn challenged attendees to field candidates in 25 districts that don’t yet have candidates.

“The North Dakota Democratic-NPL party has one goal: contest every single election up and down the ballot all across the state,” Goldwyn said.
