Governor Doug Burgum responded to the general election results, congratulating President-elect Donald J. Trump and newly elected North Dakota officials. Governor Burgum expressed optimism about the direction of North Dakota, emphasizing how Republican leadership at both state and national levels can support continued growth and economic success in North Dakota.
“Congratulations to President-elect Donald J. Trump on his historic win, and to North Dakota Gov.-elect Kelly Armstrong, U.S. Sen. Kevin Cramer, Congresswoman-elect Julie Fedorchak and all the statewide and legislative candidates on their victories,” Burgum stated.
He acknowledged that with continued Republican leadership in North Dakota’s Legislature, Governor’s Office, and the U.S. Senate, the state is “well-positioned for continued growth and success.”
He also highlighted that North Dakota’s economy reflects the state’s commitment to fiscally conservative policies, which have contributed to job creation and prosperity for citizens. Burgum stressed the importance of these principles, which he believes support a healthy economy and a prosperous future for North Dakotans.
The governor also highlighted several issues that will be a priority in the coming years, focusing on policies that will directly impact both North Dakotans and the nation.
“Tuesday’s election results have paved the way for continued significant progress on issues important to North Dakotans and all Americans, including border security, tax relief, growing the economy, backing our military and law enforcement, supporting farmers and ranchers, and strengthening national security by unleashing U.S. energy production so we can sell energy to our friends and allies instead of buying it from our adversaries,” Burgum added.
Governor Burgum expressed his confidence in North Dakota’s potential to thrive by focusing on energy, agriculture, and technology. He views private sector innovation, rather than government regulation, as the primary way to meet challenges and unlock North Dakota’s potential in these sectors.
Burgum’s vision for North Dakota emphasizes a proactive approach to growth, underscoring the state’s commitment to fostering progress and prosperity through effective, conservative policies.
