FARGO, N.D. – Michael Howe, 35, a fifth-generation family farmer and state representative from Casselton is launching his campaign for Secretary of State.

Michael represents District 22, a largely rural area of Cass County, in the North Dakota House of Representatives.

“In 2016, I ran for the legislature to fight for farmers, ranchers, small businesses and families,” said Howe. “I believe our true strength comes from our people, not from our government.”

As a business owner, Howe understands the unique challenges we face today and will cut red tape to ensure North Dakota is the easiest place to start and grow a business.

In the legislature, Michael has fought to protect North Dakotans from government overreach and cut unnecessary regulations. In 2021, Howe stood up for small businesses and spearheaded legislation to safeguard businesses from frivolous lawsuits related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As Secretary of State, Michael Howe will protect the security of our elections from outsiders who want to allow non-citizens to vote, ban voter ID laws, and use taxpayer dollars to fund their campaigns.

“While North Dakota continues to feed and fuel the world, our biggest challenges often come from politicians in D.C.,” said Michael. “North Dakotans should always be in charge of North Dakota’s elections.”
