North Dakota United Leaders Share the Voice of Our Members at Both State Conventions

Both of the major political parties in North Dakota held their state conventions this past weekend. The Republican State Convention was held at the Scheels Arena in Fargo on April 3–4, and the Democratic-NPL State Convention took place at the Bismarck Event Center on April 2–3.

Representatives from North Dakota United were on hand at both conventions, to speak for the thoughts and concerns of our public educators and employees. NDU President Nick Archuleta was able to attend both conventions, NDU Executive Director Chad Oban spoke with candidates and delegates at the Democratic-NPL State Convention in Bismarck, and NDU Assistant Executive Director Stuart Savelkoul was on hand to talk with attendees of the Republican State Convention in Fargo.

Here are some photos from both events:
