Who will earn your vote?

Let’s put North Dakota at the top of the nation by creating communities with those qualities. When I look at the Governor candidates, the only one I see who can do that is Merrill Piepkorn. He’s got my vote! 

When Merrill Piepkorn says will be a governor for all North Dakotans, I believe him. He’s one of us.  

Merrill’s not a billionaire who can’t relate to what our lives are like. He isn’t interested in a post in Washington or using his position to earn favors for wealthy friends. And he’s not an extremist who will support his party no matter what.  

I’ve never viewed my dad, Merrill Piepkorn, as a politician. When our friends in District 44 encouraged him to run for state office, it wasn’t due to a political agenda. After he played a key role in helping our local school navigate a financial challenge, we recognized the positive change he could bring. This realization propelled him into eight years of dedicated service as a State Senator. Now, he has an opportunity to make an even greater impact as governor.

Opening my estimated property tax bill on Labor Day, I thanked Sen. Merrill Piepkorn for a $416 reduction in my bill. Allow me to explain.

Are you tired of partisanship rather than what’s good for North Dakota? I am. Merrill Piepkorn will be that Governor who puts people before party.

When Merrill Piepkorn says he stands with women, I believe him. As a senator in the North Dakota legislature, he had our backs.

Merrill Piepkorn, known for his singing, had North Dakota Democrats singing together as he accepted the party’s nomination to be its candidate for governor.

“I’m known for wearing a bolo tie and playing guitar and kind of an old school guy like that,” Piepkorn said Saturday. “It’s also kind of old school, old fashioned to believe that we need to love our neighbors. … We need to take care of each other, to take care of our communities, to protect the rights of all of us.”
