heitkamp2Bismarck  (CSi)  – U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp Monday issued the following statement after Governor Jack Dalrymple announced he will not seek another term:

“Over his more than three decades in public service in North Dakota, Governor Dalrymple has made the state and its people his priority. He has been someone who will listen to all sides of a debate and work with those who disagree with him. During his tenure, I’ve been proud to call Jack and Betsy friends. They love North Dakota, and we saw their fight for our state in full force during the flooding in Minot and around the Missouri River Basin in 2011. Thank you to Jack for his work for North Dakota, and I wish him and Betsy well.”
