May 19th Fargo Fundraiser
A number of Adam’s close friends hosted a fundraiser for him on May 19th at The Hub in Fargo. Michelle and Adam enjoyed a beautiful evening with old and new friends! Adam’s friends did a great job with the location and the food was tremendous! If you are interested in looking at a few pictures of the event, they are on this website under the photos section.
May 5th Bismarck Fundraiser
Jim and Nicole Poolman hosted a fundraiser for Adam at their home on May 5th. The event was an amazing success! Everyone enjoyed a great evening of conversation, and the event gave Adam a chance to speak to a number of people from the Bismarck area. There are a few pictures of the event under the photos section of this website-please feel free to look at them.
Killdeer on April 12th
Michelle, Wyatt, Halle and I had a great time on Saturday evening, April 12th in Killdeer at a District 36 fundraiser. The food and music were outstanding, and the folks in District 36 have three very impressive legislative candidates in George Nodland, Mike Schatz and Frank Klein. We really appreciated all the hospitality and the kids thoroughly enjoyed showing off the pies during the auction-thanks Killdeer!
Nomination and Endorsement
Michelle, Wyatt, Halle and I had a great morning on Sunday with my nomination and endorsement as the Republican Party Candidate for Insurance Commissioner! I was honored to have Governor Hoeven nominate me and the energy during our floor demonstration was amazing! Walking up and down the aisles and seeing all of our old AND new friends was a tremendous feeling!
I’d also like to send out a special thank-you to all the College Republicans who helped get our campaign off to such a fantastic start! The excitement they added to the entire convention weekend was contagious! The future of the Republican Party in North Dakota is clearly VERY bright!
Governor’s Club Dinner
The convention excitement kicked off Friday evening with the Governor’s Club Dinner and special guest speaker Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty. I was fortunate to be given the opportunity to be the Master of Ceremonies at the event (if you would like to read about it, it is discussed in the Saturday edition (March 29, 2008) of the Fargo Forum).
Michelle and I had a great evening sitting with Governor Hoeven and his family, and Governor Pawlenty. Governor Pawlenty inspired the hundreds in attendance with his speech and kick-started the convention perfectly!
Convention Excitement
The Republican State Convention is just around the corner and final plans and preparations are coming together! I am really excited about the opportunity to meet all the delegates and speak to them about the positive message of this campaign. I hope to see you there!
Campaign Announcement Tour
We officially launched the campaign for Insurance Commissioner on February 13 and 14 with stops across North Dakota! Michelle, Wyatt and Halle joined me as we traveled to Bismarck, Fargo, Grand Forks and Minot.
The reception we received was outstanding and I am very honored to have had the following people introduce me: Governor Hoeven in Bismarck, former Fargo Mayor Bruce Furness in Fargo, Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem in Grand Forks and First Lady Mikey Hoeven in Minot! We are really looking forward to getting out and meeting North Dakotans and letting them know about our positive message! Here we go!!!
