Veterans backing Sand in primaries

BISMARCK (AP) — A veterans’ group is buying television advertising to support Republican Duane Sand’s U.S. Senate primary campaign against GOP Congressman Rick Berg.
Sand and Berg are opposing each other in the June 12 primary election. They’re competing for the Republican Senate nomination to run against Democrat Heidi Heitkamp in the fall.
Sioux Falls, S.D., lawyer Joel Arends is director of a newly formed political action committee called the Veterans for a Strong America Action Group.
Arends said the PAC will be spending $40,000 on North Dakota television ads later this week that oppose Berg’s Senate bid.
Arends said Berg voted last fall to raise the national debt limit, while Sand opposed raising the limit.
