Doug Burgum: Working with tribal leadership to improve quality of life

We got a lot accomplished on tribal partnerships in the last three years, and credit goes to the leadership of the tribes with which we share geography. And as we tried to improve the state's quality of life or educational outcomes, we need to do that for all North Dakotans in all areas of the state. And that includes our tribal nations. And working together, we've honored that commitment by listening first and then making real progress.

Doug Burgum: People won't move here if spouse faces licensure barrier

We have to work to break down the barriers to employment. Working with the legislature last year we removed the occupational licensing and certification barriers for military spouses. But we still have too much red tape across 80 licensing organizations. We're losing ground to states like Arizona that last year adopted universal licensing recognition. People won't move here if their spouse can't get a job because of licensure barriers.
