10 Weeks Until State Convention “No free government, or the blessing of liberty can be preserved to any people, but by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.” - George Mason, Virginia (a founding father) What George Mason meant was that a government formed upon principles to serve the public good, in order to succeed, each generation must participate in its endeavor and be reminded of the principles upon which it is based. Citizen participation is essential to its success. We now have less than 10 weeks until the NDGOP State Convention! This is a key opportunity for you to participate in our government, and have an impact on the future of our state and nation. From April 4-6, delegates from across North Dakota will gather in Minot to celebrate North Dakota’s success, as well as make some important decisions. We will endorse statewide candidates, update our party’s platform and refine our message for the upcoming election. In addition, your involvement in the 2014 State Convention will be credited towards being a delegate to the 2016 National Convention. Statewide candidates who will be joining us and seeking our endorsement include: Kevin Cramer, U.S. Congress Wayne Stenehjem, Attorney General Al Jaeger, Secretary of State Doug Goehring, Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger, Tax Commissioner Brian Kalk, Public Service Commissioner Julie Fedorchak, Public Service Comissioner Your ongoing involvement is critical in shaping the future of our party, our state, and our nation – get involved today. Here’s how: Become a State Convention Delegate Step 1 – Find Your District Delegates for the 2014 State Convention are chosen at the district level. Visit the Secretary of State’s website “My Voting Information” to find your district. Step 2 – Attend Your District Convention Each of the 47 districts will hold a District Convention to elect delegates to the State Convention in early February to mid-March (view full schedule). You need to live in the District for 30 days prior to the district convention and be a member of the state party to become a delegate to the state convention. Contact your district chair and let them know you are interested in becoming a delegate. Step 3 – Complete the Delegate Registration Form Once selected as a delegate at your District Convention you should fill out the registration form and send it in along with your payment, or register and pay online. You will receive the form and registration link from your District Chair. No registration is complete until the District Chair approves a registrant as a duly elected delegate or alternate from their district. As Chairman of the NDGOP, I want to personally invite you to be a part of the process and encourage your friends and fellow citizens to do so as well. Thank you for serving our party and our state! Robert Harms Chair, NDGOP
