JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – A local group is hosting an event to bring better balance to Bismarck, said organizer Olivia Schloegel, and it invites Jamestown and the surrounding community to attend. “People know our systems and programs aren’t working as well as they could for everyone,” she said. “Whether you’re interested in volunteering, personal development, or supporting local candidates, our goal is to offer you practical ways to take action and be part of positive change in North Dakota.”

The evening features dynamic speakers who will share recent insights and empower attendees to take action. Josh Boschee, member of the North Dakota State Senate, will outline state legislative priorities for the year ahead and discuss how to “cut through the noise” to meet the core needs of our communities. Katrina Christiansen, former U.S. Senate candidate and university educator, will highlight the power of people-oriented campaigns focused on local issues. Olivia Schloegel, District 12 Chair and former ND State Senate candidate, will share how individuals can step up in their communities, whether through involvement in local initiatives or by organizing at the grassroots level.

This event is a chance to learn about the work District 12 Dem-NPL and coalition groups are doing to build strong public engagement today and how individuals can organize toward the future.
