N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – State Representative Jessica Haak was recently awarded the ‘Friend of Public Employees’ award by North Dakota United on April 16th.

North Dakota President Nick Archuleta presented the award to Representative Haak at the organization’s General Assembly. Haak was recognized for her efforts in the past two legislative sessions during the interim sessions.

In Archuleta’s introduction speech, Haak was recognized for her efforts on leave policy to include fathers, mothers and parents of adopted children.

“What really established Haak as a rising star in our Legislature was the hard work she put into getting her legislation turned into law. In that area, Haak has proven to be a master at building consensus and unique alliances.” Archuleta stated.

“I believe that together, we can and do make a difference, and we do what we do for a better North Dakota. It’s about economic opportunity for everyone, the North Dakota economy has changed and we need to focus on helping North Dakotans get a head with more skills, more jobs, and more wealth for all families.” Haak stated.
