Michael J. Steele:
Fight for voting rights for students & Native Americans
I will fight hard for civil rights, voting rights, and I will fight to allow college students and our Native American brothers and sisters the right to vote not only in North Dakota but the rest of America. I will fight for wages equality,
the homeless, minority rights and children's right. I will fight for truth, justice and the constitutional protections we all have fought hard for and deserve.

Rick Becker:
Supports term limits for members of Congress
Congressional office is intended to be a temporary position of service to the people. Career politicians tend to inevitably become corrupt and self-serving.
I support term limits for members of Congress.

Rick Becker:
Fire smug bureaucrats running roughshod over Congress
Smug bureaucrats running roughshod over Congress cannot be tolerated. Congress must regain its place as the most powerful branch of government. Lying and perjured bureaucrats must be held accountable, tried in court when appropriate,
and the funding for their agencies should be cut. I support firing corrupt bureaucrats like the liar Anthony Fauci--and any others who lie before congress, abuse their positions of power, and subvert public trust in legitimate science.

Rick Becker:
Resist any act allowing Federal intrusion into our elections
We cannot have confidence in our Government, without confidence in the integrity of our elections. Every legal vote must count, and we must be tireless in our effort to resist any act which allows the
Federal government to intrude further into our elections, or which allows for fraudulent manipulation of the voting process.

Doug Burgum:
We need Farm Freedom legislation, and we need it now!
Other states, like South Dakota, have carve-outs in their family farming laws that smartly allow nonrelated parties to pool capital for animal agriculture operations like feeding livestock and poultry,
operating a dairy and for pork production. Let's allow animal agriculture to flourish in North Dakota once again. We need Farm Freedom legislation, and we need it now!
