PRESS RELEASE:

BISMARCK, ND – For the first time, Liberty ND PAC has endorsed an entire team from a single district. Liberty ND PAC announced its endorsement of Oley Larsen for Senate, and Bob Paulson and Jeff Hoverson for House in District 3 in Minot, ND. District 3 includes much of the eastern portion of Minot, ND, and the rural community to the east and south. It also includes the community of Surrey, ND.

Oley Larsen is ranked most conservative ND Senator by the ACU. He has worked as a teacher, mechanic, and insurance professional. Oley has a B.A. in Vocational Education, an A.A.S in Diesel Tech and an M.S. in Education Leadership from NDSU. He has served as Department Chair for Career and Technical Education, President of TITH, and Lead Advisor for Skills-USA. In 2006 he received the National Citizenship Education Teacher Award and educator of the year in 2000. He is an enrolled member of the Kluane First Nation.

Bob Paulson retired as a naval Commander after 24 years. He participated in Operation Desert Shield, coordinating the air wing’s participation in Noble Eagle, enduring freedom and Iraqi Freedom. He led Squadron missions around the globe, including deployment in the War on Terror. In 2005, he was selected as Chiefs of Staff officer of the Navy’s largest Air Wing.

“District 3 has turned out the strongest liberty ticket in the state of North Dakota,” said Andrea Toman, Executive Director of Liberty ND PAC. “Oley Larsen has been a lone wolf in the Senate. His work there to champion liberty causes has not gone unnoticed. In 2017, Oley boldly sponsored SB 2180 to refuse federal education funding tied to federal mandates. That is just one example of his commitment to state’s rights and doing what’s best for North Dakota. With Bob and Jeff joining him as house candidates, District 3 will be a beacon for liberty in North Dakota for years to come.”

This is Bob’s and Jeff’s first run for House, and Oley is running for a third term. All three have been endorsed by the District 3 Republican Party. The election in November 6, 2018.
