2020 ND Governor's race: on Health Care


Shelley Lenz: COVID: Dismissing public health officials isn't working

Democrat Dr. Shelley Lenz says 422 Covid-19 related deaths and three state health directors resigning points to why Governor Doug Burgum's handling of the virus isn't going well.

"Pleading with the public while dismissing your public health officials is not getting the job done. Instead of a patchwork of political talking points, I presented a comprehensive non-partisan plan that brings us together," Lenz said.

Shelley Lenz: COVID: Create crisis management structure to respond

If elected her first order of business would be to enact the Lenz-Vig Covid-19 Crisis Management Plan (named for herself and Lt. Governor candidate Ben Vig), which involves creating a crisis management structure to more efficiently respond to widespread threats like Covid-19. "The economy can't recover because we can't get the spread under control."
