Update\u2026<\/p>\n
Bismarck (CSi) The North Dakota Republican Party confirmed Tuesday that it will support Al Jaeger\u2019s independent candidacy for secretary of state one day after that office\u2019s longtime occupant said he would mount such a campaign.<\/p>\n
The North Dakota Republican Party said in a news release Tuesday that independent candidates who intend to petition for a letter of support should appear before a Republican State Committee meeting June 16 in Fargo, a few days after the primary election. The party will begin drafting procedural rules for the meeting.<\/p>\n
The news release did not name Jaeger, leaving open the possibility that other candidates may emerge.<\/p>\n
State Republican Party Chairman Rick Berg says he\u2019s not aware of other candidates at this time.<\/p>\n
Previously\u2026<\/p>\n
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 ND Republican Secretary of State Al Jaeger on Monday decided to step back into the race for his office, after his party\u2019s endorsed candidate dropped out over the weekend.<\/p>\n
Will Gardner withdrew after it came to light that he had pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in 2006 after being accused of peeping through a window at a North Dakota State University women\u2019s dormitory.<\/p>\n
Gardner, a 41-year-old Mandan businessman, had beaten Jaeger for the GOP endorsement for secretary of state in April. Jaeger then ruled out challenging Gardner in next month\u2019s primary election.<\/p>\n
Jaeger said Monday he will run as an independent in the November general election. The 74-year-old was first elected in 1992 and is the longest-serving Republican official in the North Dakota Capitol. He said he wants four more years in office.<\/p>\n
\u201cI made a decision a year ago, to accomplish some of the things I want to accomplish here, one more term would be great,\u201d Jaeger said, adding that if he wins another term it would be his last leading the office that runs elections and keeps business records.<\/p>\n
Jaeger appears to be the only chance for the Republican Party to effectively hang onto the office. Gardner\u2019s name will still appear on the June 12 primary ballot, and with voting by mail underway for several weeks already, it\u2019s unlikely a write-in candidate would win, state Republican Party Chairman Rick Berg said. If a write-in candidate were to lose in the primary, he or she could not run as an independent in November.<\/p>\n
The other option for the party would be what Jaeger is doing. Jaeger needs only to gather 1,000 valid signatures by Sept. 14 to secure a spot on the November ballot as an independent.<\/p>\n
The Republican Party\u2019s state committee, made up mostly of district leaders, will decide whether to issue a letter of support for Jaeger, as it does for the nonpartisan state school superintendent office.<\/p>\n
Berg said, \u201cFrom a party standpoint, obviously we want to endorse someone for this race.”<\/p>\n
No other Republican has expressed an interest in either a write-in primary campaign or running as an independent in November, he said.<\/p>\n
Fargo state Rep. Josh Boschee is the endorsed Democrat for the seat. He said he\u2019s not daunted by Jaeger\u2019s name recognition, because he believes business owners and farmers are frustrated that the secretary of state\u2019s office hasn\u2019t kept up with the times and \u201cmy campaign has always been about modernizing the office.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople are looking for change \u2014 that\u2019s clear with who the GOP chose at their own convention,\u201d<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Former employees of a Denver-based oil company operating in the Bakken oil patch failed to report five spills in northwest North Dakota dating back to October, according to the company.<\/p>\n
Zavanna Vice President Cody Duran said three spills occurred at the same saltwater disposal well last year, and two more occurred at different sites in January, the Bismarck Tribune reported.<\/a><\/p>\nAll the spills were in Williams County and involved produced water or brine, a waste byproduct of oil production. Most of the contamination stayed on well facility locations, but one spill killed a strip of grass adjacent to the well pad, Duran said.<\/p>\n
Zavanna fired three employees, and a new production supervisor brought the spills to management’s attention, Duran said. The company inspected the sites and notified the North Dakota Industrial Commission, the state Health Department and the Bureau of Land Management. Zavanna is also reaching out to landowners.<\/p>\n
“We’re just trying to get back in good standing and do what’s right,” Duran said.<\/p>\n
Zavanna plans to further assess the Guchun saltwater disposal well and the Sabertooth 1-24H well and is working with a remediation company, Duran said. Three of the brine spills occurred at the Guchun well, the largest involving 42,000 gallons (158,983 liters) in November.<\/p>\n
The Industrial Commission could fine the company up to $12,500 a day for failure to report. State regulators require companies verbally report spills immediately and file a written spill report within 24 hours.<\/p>\n
Duran said Zavanna management met with employees last week to reiterate the company’s expectation that all spills be reported and reissued regulators’ contact information.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A group of five western states that banded together nearly three decades ago to market the region internationally is changing its brand.<\/p>\n
The Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho are dropping the “Real America” brand in favor of “The Great American West.”<\/p>\n
North Dakota Tourism Director Sara Otte (AW’-tee) Coleman says the new brand “captures the essence” of the region. Officials hope it will strengthen the region’s appeal to international travelers.<\/p>\n
The multi-state international promotional cooperative has been marketing collectively in Europe and Australia since the early 1990s.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nWASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump says he doesn’t like the change in attitude he’s picked up from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Trump said Tuesday that he detected a shift after Kim and Chinese President Xi Jinping met for a second time in China. Trump says he hopes China isn’t influencing Kim. Trump and Kim are scheduled to meet June 12 in Singapore. Trump now says the meeting could be delayed.SANTA FE, Texas (AP) \u2014 The father of a 17-year-old student accused of fatally shooting 10 people at a Houston-area high school says the teenager doesn’t own any guns and that perhaps his son was being bullied. In a phone interview with Greece’s Antenna TV, Antonios Pagourtzis said he wished he could have stopped the killing Friday at Santa Fe High School. He says he told police to let him inside the school so his son could kill him instead. Dimitrios Pagourtzis is being held on capital murder charges.UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Many cancer patients start two battles shortly after diagnosis: They have to fight their disease and avoid financial ruin. Doctors and patient advocates are scrambling to offer more help for the latter as drug costs soar and insurance coverage shrinks. They say patients who wind up overwhelmed by bills often delay treatment or cut back on their medications, which hurts their care.WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump is offering catnip to conservative voters with a new administration push to strip funding from Planned Parenthood and other family planning clinics. The initiative, announced last week, has arrived just in time for Trump to highlight it Tuesday night when he speaks at the Susan B. Anthony List’s annual “Campaign for Life Gala.” The president of the anti-abortion group says the move “will help tremendously” in the midterm elections.PAHOA, Hawaii (AP) \u2014 There have been two new small explosive eruptions at the summit of Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island. Ash plumes late Monday afternoon and early Tuesday morning didn’t exceed 10,000 feet. Officials say any danger from ash fallout would be near the summit. U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist Mike Poland says there are near continuous low-level ash emissions from the summit.<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CSi Weather… .TONIGHT\u2026Partly cloudy.
