Governors are by nature leaders who determine the direction of his or her state. This election features three candidates with very different views. Doug Burgum (Republican) has promised to fix state finances, diversify the economy, and bring state government into the digital age. Marvin Nelson (Democratic-NPL) has promised he’ll overhaul the State Industrial Commission, properly regulate the oil and gas industry and “trying to have a North Dakota for all North Dakotans, as opposed to you’ve got to be the right guy, or it doesn’t happen.” Marty Riske, Libertarian candidate, proposes to safeguard state tax dollars ensuring good use of taxpayer monies, legalizing marijuana, ending civil action forfeiture and ending Common Core in our K-12 Education system. This is sure to be a lively discussion and one you can participate in via live texting and/or tweeting.
