2024 battleground election

Ballotpedia identified the June 11, 2024, Republican primary as a battleground race. The summary below is from our coverage of this election, found here.

Two candidates are running in the Republican primary election for Governor of North Dakota on June 11, 2024: Kelly Armstrong (R) and Tammy Miller (R).

Armstrong and Miller announced their candidacies after Incumbent Gov. Doug Burgum (R) said he would not seek re-election on Jan 22.^[3]

Armstrong and Miller both say they support reducing taxes, increasing energy production, and increasing resources for law enforcement agencies. Both candidates say they support former president Donald Trump (R) and oppose President Joe Biden's (D) policies.^[4]^[5]^[6]

Armstrong says his experience in the North Dakota state Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives would benefit him as governor. Armstrong says he would continue to push for the same policies he did in Congress. Armstrong said, "For the past five years as your congressman, I've been fighting for North Dakota in D.C. I fought against federal overreach, a two-tiered justice system, and a radical liberal agenda. I have fought for states' rights, individual liberty, and common sense."^[7] The North Dakota Republican Party endorsed Armstrong at its April convention in Fargo, North Dakota.^[8]

Miller says her experience as the lieutenant governor, chief operating officer of the governor's office, and CEO of an electrical distribution company makes her the most qualified candidate. She said, "I have worked with the governor for four years and really understand the momentum we've built and want to take that to the next level. I am well prepared. That bit of time as lieutenant governor has been very helpful - understanding what all of our state agencies do. But I think the business experience, being a business leader, is the best preparation I have to move into the governor's office."^[9] Gov. Burgum endorsed Miller on Feb. 21.^[10]

In North Dakota, candidates for governor and lieutenant governor run together as a ticket. State Rep. Michelle Strinden (R) is running for lieutenant governor with Armstrong, and North Dakota Commerce Commissioner Josh Teigen (R) is running for lieutenant governor with Miller.

Republicans have controlled the governorship since 1993, and independent election analysts rate the office as a safe Republican seat, meaning the winner of the Republican primary will likely win the general election.

Issues

Energy development

In January 2014, Armstrong questioned the statutory authority of the North Dakota State Industrial Commission to create “special places” exceptions for oil development and advocated for the commission to bring its proposals for a vote to the state legislature.^[47] The “special places” exceptions include a proposed list of North Dakota locations in which energy development would face stricter regulatory scrutiny.

In a letter to the commission, Armstrong expressed his disapproval of the policy. “Often in North Dakota we condemn regulatory overreach from Federal Agencies,” Armstrong wrote. “Indeed, I have listened as members of this commission have given speeches railing against the overbearing tactics of the EPA and the U.S. Forest Service. However, it appears by the creation of this rule, we are saying that regulatory overreach is fine, as long as it is a North Dakota regulatory agency initiating the rule.”^[47] Armstrong was joined by State Representative Roscoe Streyle and Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring in opposition to the new regulations. Streyle agreed with Armstrong’s letter, saying that the commission should bring the matter to the state legislature for approval.^[47]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in North Dakota

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states. To contribute to the list of North Dakota scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.
