We have reached out to the North Dakota Attorney General’s Office to discuss options for mounting a legal challenge to this mandate, which goes against everything I believe as a governor, a business owner and an American.
The White House needs to be reminded that the states created the federal government, not the other way around, and we will always vigorously defend states’ rights.
Safe, effective vaccines remain our best tool for preserving hospital capacity and ensuring access to care, but forcing a vaccine mandate on private employers is not the role of the state or federal government.
With Gratitude,
Doug Burgum
Governor
