2024 AdWatch: on Budget & Economy


Doug Burgum: Balanced the budget every year and passed record tax cuts

In [his Burgum's] 15-second advertisement titled "Why", Burgum says, "First, fix this crazy economy. Second, unleash American energy production. Third, rebuild our military to win the Cold War with China."

His second minute-long ad titled "Change" touts Burgum as a "new leader for a changing economy." It  highlights his background growing up in rural North Dakota, using his inherited farmland to invest the seed capital for Great Plains Software. He sold the company to Microsoft for $1.1 billion in 2001, and became governor of his home state in 2016.

"As governor, we took North Dakota from billions in the hole to a surplus," Burgum said. "We balanced the budget every year and passed record tax cuts, again, working together. Think what we could do with America."
