2024 ND Governor's race: on Civil Rights


Merrill Piepkorn: Would have vetoed anti-transgender legislation

Piepkorn also said that Burgum should have vetoed several bills targeting LGBTQ North Dakotans during the 2023 legislative session. Burgum signed a handful of bills related to transgender people, including measures that criminalize gender-affirming care for minors, prevent transgender people from using bathrooms that align with their gender identities in schools and some state-owned living facilities, and that forbid transgender girls and women from playing in female K-12 and college sports.

Kelly Armstrong: Supported legislation targeting LGBTQ youth

When two Republican candidates for governor--Lt. Gov. Tammy Miller and U.S. Rep. Kelly Armstrong--squared off in a debate, they appeared to agree more often than not. Miller and Armstrong were also both supportive of North Dakota's abortion ban, as well as a spate of recent legislation targeting LGBTQ youth--including a law forbidding transgender girls and women from competing in female sports in K-12 and college, and another banning transgender minors from receiving gender-affirming care.
