Transportation
To ensure the high quality of life we expect, I am working to maintain and upgrade our roads, bridges, airports and rail systems to move people and products safely and efficiently. As a member of the Senate Transportation-HUD Appropriations Committee, I have secured funding to advance airport development projects, critical road and bridge repairs, safety enhancements and upgrades to our transportation network to better connect communities across the state. These investments are essential to supporting economic growth, improving safety, and ensuring North Dakota’s continued success.
