Return District 12 incumbents

When it comes to government work, nothing is a better teacher than experience and Jamestown’s current legislators combined have more than 80 years worth in the North Dakota Senate and House, respectively.

Those amounts of experience and hard work are invaluable, which is why we recommend re-electing incumbents Sen. Dave Nething, R-Jamestown, and Reps. Lyle Hanson and Joe Kroeber, D-Jamestown.

North Dakota is faring relatively well in today’s economic times and part of that is because of the current leadership. Nething, Hanson and Kroeber have proven that they work to better Jamestown and the state as a whole. Their track records are the best indicator of the jobs they will do in the upcoming session.

It’s no mistake that the candidates we endorsed cross party lines. Leadership from both the Republican and Democratic parties will continue to work for District 12 and North Dakota.

Candidates John Grabinger (Senate) and Dallas Rosin (House) have honorable intentions and would do their best to serve their district. We feel, however, that Nething, Hanson and Kroeber are the best choices for District 12.
