John,

Yesterday was a truly humbling and inspiring day.

The response and encouragement to our announcement that we are seeking re-election was awesome to experience.

It was amazing to see so many of our friends, family and supporters at our announcement press conferences in Fargo and Bismarck.

As we said yesterday, Doug and I are running for a second term because we believe in North Dakota’s unlimited potential.

We know that right now is our opportunity to make North Dakota a national leader that other states look to as a model of how to diversify the economy, improve quality of life, battle the stigma of addiction, transform education and so much more.

Thank you again for supporting Doug and me as we kicked off our re-election bid.

Sincerely,
