| Fellow American, There’s something I wanted you to be the first to see (click here or below) and then I have an important message I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read through.
 About six years ago on January 2nd, 2018 - Kris, Abel, and I entered the Oval Office for a meeting with President Trump. He had invited us to talk about advancing his America First agenda and to try and convince us about our decision not to seek office in the United States Senate from North Dakota. We had fielded multiple pleas about running for Senate and each time, Kris and I considered the requests sincerely and prayerfully and each time concluded it was not in what was the best interest of our family and that remaining in the house with my seniority and important committee assignments was what was best for North Dakota. Later that week I announced once and for all I would seek re-election to the United States House of Representatives. Then on February 8th – the day of the National Prayer Breakfast – President Trump, armed with compelling poll numbers, called again with a simple message. He said, Kevin, we've looked at all of the poll numbers and candidates and the fact of the matter is simply this – if you run, Republicans will win the seat. If you don’t run, Democrats will keep the seat. I need you. Kris looked at me and said – I guess we have to do it! And we’ve never looked back. Representing North Dakota in the Senate is the honor of a lifetime. With now six years invested in the Senate I’ve learned to leverage North Dakota’s strengths with America’s needs. I’ve gained the advantage of age in an institution that honors seniority. I’ve learned patience – when appropriate. And urgency when required. I’ve learned the art of collecting political capital to be saved for when circumstances present an opportunity to invest in the big things. The things that matter most! I’ve kept my commitment to stay close to the people of North Dakota. I listen carefully and I apply what I hear to the decisions I make. I share information and my values openly and then let the chips fall where they may. And whether a constituent agrees with me most of the time or disagrees with me most of the time – I’m always blessed by our mutual respect embodied in our open dialogue and transparency. So with a grateful heart and the sufficiency of God’s grace, with the blessing of our family and the support of Kris – the most incredible woman of faith I know – I will seek the Republican nomination to continue the work we have begun in the United States Senate for North Dakota. We have a good message to share with the best voters of the best state in our nation and I look forward to telling it. With God’s guiding hand, Kris has taught our family to proclaim – whatever the cost – America’s worth it. We look forward to seeing you on the trail as the campaign unfolds. God bless you, and God bless North Dakota! – Senator Kevin Cramer
