North Dakota Lieutenant Governor Tammy Miller made stops in Cavalier and Langdon on Thursday, March 28 campaigning to become the state’s next governor.
“I’m very, very proud to be the 39th Lieutenant Governor in this great state,” Miller said. “I think we have great momentum going in our state, and I’d love to be the 34th governor of the great state of North Dakota.”
During her stop in Langdon, Miller held a town hall meeting, primarily to introduce herself and to gather input from residents about what the most pressing things on their minds heading into the 2024 election.
Miller shared what she’s been hearing from residents around the state.
“A lot of the challenges are with infrastructure and finding the funding for infrastructure. We hear a lot of comments about schools needing significant upgrades or maybe new schools,” she said. “We hear about the workforce, and we hear a lot about housing, and then concerns about the property tax initiative.”
The Borderland Press also asked her about what she would plan to do in regards to public safety, namely with border control, which has become an increasingly larger issue for our readers. She said the number one priority is to have President Joe Biden voted out of office.
“We need a president who’s going to deal with closing the borders. That’s number one,” Miller said. “And then number two, we need to take more control within our state and make sure we back law enforcement to be able to do their jobs to deal with illegal immigrants as well as this dramatic inflow of illegal drugs, and we’re watching very closely what’s happening in Texas.”
This weekend is the North Dakota Republican Convention, an event which Miller has already announced she would not be attending.
