FARGO, N.D. (AP) -- North Dakota's 2012 U.S. House race will have another competitor by Tuesday morning.
The Forum reports that Longtime Fargo legislator Bette Grande says she has an "important announcement" to make in her hometown of Williston, where she was born and raised.
The Republican has represented south-central Fargo since 1996. She's been among the top Republican prospects rumored to enter the U.S. House race this fall.
Grande said if she is elected, she will focus on reducing spending and resolving the national debt without raising taxes.
She said overregulation is also a key issue of concern, especially for North Dakotans in Oil Country.
