BISMARCK, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Former U.S. Senator Kent Conrad, who represented North Dakota in the Senate from 1987 to 2013, has officially endorsed Katrina Christiansen in her bid for the U.S. Senate seat he once held.
Conrad, a prominent figure in North Dakota politics known for his bipartisan approach, praised Christiansen’s energy, intelligence, and dedication to the state. A media release states that Conrad, reflecting on his time in the Senate, expressed confidence in Christiansen’s ability to deliver results for North Dakota.
