If we start changing the map three days before the season, that’s patently unfair to anybody who’s taking their kid out or going out with their buddies to do this.

Something really drastically terrible would have to happen before officials would expand the prohibited area.

You don’t need nearly as many white-tail bucks as you do does in order to make sure that you have good fawning next year, so we’re trying to protect the long-term viability, and this is the best of the worst-case options we have available…

This is about the most targeted overreaction we could come up with, and I mean that seriously.

I appointed Jill. She was a first-time candidate in a competitive primary. She is doing a great job, and we were happy to support her.

We are also supporting statewide and other legislative candidates in the fall that did not have competitive primaries.

The slate of candidates I have endorsed and financially supported are focused on results-driven policies for our state.

I would go to the mat every day, and twice on Sundays, to defend this selection for the Rough Rider Award.

Record high diesel prices are squeezing our ag producers, and this is a meaningful and timely step we can take to provide temporary relief and help our farmers and ranchers through the harvest season.

The path forward for the Missouri River needs to be shaped collectively by the basin states working together, and we welcome every basin state to the table to find solutions that respect each state’s individual rights and interests.

The people that are looking for work in those legislators’ communities are going to like this.

One of the things we recognize is we need to better align the systems that North Dakota already has.

The new State Hospital is a once-in-a-generation investment in the future of behavioral health in North Dakota.

While we preferred a total ban on kratom, we appreciate the Legislature convening in special session and working hard to pass a meaningful law that protects the well-being of our citizens.

This is a victory for public health and safety, keeping dangerous synthetic kratom products off the shelves and protecting our young people from the adverse and unknown long-term effects of natural kratom, which is not regulated by the FDA…

I think we owe it just from a straight consumer protection standpoint. People should know that what they’re buying is what the package says it is.

We got 90% of what we wanted.

There should be some tough hearings and some tough questions asked.

I can’t imagine a scenario happening like this again as long as I’m governor.

“At the very least, we should have a 21-and-older age restriction on purchasing kratom, and a truth-in-labeling law so consumers actually know what they’re taking,”

“We are here to address a public safety and a public health issue that simply cannot wait for the regular legislative calendar to run its course,”
