BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Gov. Doug Burgum has appointed former U.S. attorney and lieutenant governor Drew Wrigley to serve the remainder of the term held by Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, who died last month. Stenehjem announced in December he would not seek another term. Wrigley announced soon after that he will run for the office. He is the only declared candidate at present. Stenehjem, a former legislator and the state’s longest-serving attorney general, died Jan. 28 at age 68. Wrigley was U.S. attorney from 2001 to 2009, and again from 2019 to 2021. He was lieutenant governor from 2010 to 2016 under former GOP Gov. Jack Dalrymple.
