BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer says he’s looking ahead to a November Senate battle with Democratic incumbent Heidi Heitkamp that has big stakes for the state and the nation.
Cramer defeated little-known Air Force veteran Thomas O’Neill to cruise to victory in Tuesday’s Republican Senate primary.
Cramer weighed a challenge to Heitkamp for months before announcing earlier this year that he wouldn’t run. He later changed his mind and said President Donald Trump had pressed him to enter the race.
Cramer says he knows he’s in for a tough fight against Heitkamp.
In the only other statewide primary, state Sen. Kelly Armstrong eased past a pair of political newcomers in the GOP race for Cramer’s House seat

Two more charges were added in April, and three additional counts have now been added for a total of eight.
KXMC-TV reports that Moore has pleaded not guilty to the initial five charges against him. He will have a bond hearing on Tuesday for the new charges.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s efforts to reduce the impact of wind development on wildlife habitats are drawing opposition from energy and agriculture industries.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that the state Game and Fish Department has proposed voluntary guidelines aimed at steering wind developers away from building turbines and roads in wildlife habitats. The guidelines also outline a way companies can offset their impact to habitats via projects that restore or reconstruct habitats elsewhere.
Utility company officials said last week they weren’t given the opportunity to comment on the proposal. They also questioned the department’s authority to develop guidelines they say could be interpreted as requirements.
Department officials say they’ll keep working with stakeholders to revise the recommendations.
The agency says North Dakota has 12 species on the federal threatened and endangered list.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A Ward County Jail inmate accused of breaking another inmate’s jaw in two places during a fight over ramen noodles has been sentenced in state court.

Jones pleaded guilty last week to misdemeanor assault.
Court documents show that the incident happened after 26-year-old inmate David Pieper Jr. accused Jones of stealing seven ramen noodle packages and a bowl from Pieper’s cell. Pieper was unable to talk about the fight at the time but gave a written account to investigators.
Authorities say security cameras showed Jones punching Pieper.

GYMNASTICS-DOCTOR-SEXUAL ASSAULT LEGISLATION
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan Lt. Gov. Brian Calley has signed two bills inspired by the Larry Nassar scandal, including one giving childhood sexual abuse victims more time to sue.
One law will allow people who were sexually abused as children to sue until their 28th birthdays, or three years from when they realize they have been abused. Nassar’s victims will get a 90-day window to sue retroactively.
Nassar is serving several decades-long sentences for sexual assault of female athletes while serving as a team doctor for USA Gymnastics and Michigan State athletics.
Calley signed the bills because Gov. Rick Snyder is out of state.
