2016 ND Governor's race: on Crime

Marvin Nelson: Asked attorney general to spend more time fighting crime

We have this crime wave going on. We have gangs, we have shootings, we have burglaries, we have armed robberies; I can't even find a convenience store in a rural area that's open after 11 o'clock at night, because nobody wants to sit there and get robbed. All those towns and all those counties out west now are doing massive cuts to their law enforcement because they don't have the money to keep funding it. The attorney general really should be spending his time on that. Source: Grand Forks Herald on 2016 North Dakota governor race Jun 25, 2016

Wayne Stenehjem: Launched state's sex offender website

Launched the state's sex offender website to provide parents and other concerned citizens with access to information about the most dangerous sex offenders in the state.
Has worked diligently to eliminate domestic violence in the state. He was awarded the "Love Without Fear Award" by the Abused Adult Resource Center, noting that, during his years in the Legislature, he had been a sponsor or cosponsor of every piece of legislation enacted in the state designed to curb domestic violence.
Introduced an online Identity Theft program, designed to provide victims with "one click" access to all the information and forms necessary to document and identity theft.
Launched the state's "Cold Case Investigations" squad to assist local law enforcement agencies with unsolved missing person and homicide cases. The squad utilizes advances in forensics and DNA technology and new investigative techniques to re-investigate evidence and explore new leads.
