    Rep Jeff Hoverson and Sen Jeff MagrumNorth Dakota Politics:Convention Strategy & Governor Overreach

    Join GOP Rep Jeff Hoverson and GOP Sen Jeff Magrum for an in-depth discussion on North Dakota's political landscape as they break down the critical differences between platform conservatives and establishment Republicans in the state legislature. This 44-minute conversation reveals why the Senate has become the conservative chamber and highlights key legislators like Chuck Whalen, Keith Bam, Bob Paulson, and Jose Costa who are standing firm on conservative principles. The hosts explain essential election processes that every North Dakota voter needs to understand, including the crucial distinction between delegate conventions and endorsing conventions. With 23 districts up for election this year representing 69 Republican legislative candidates, understanding these processes is vital for informed participation. They emphasize why the June 9th primary election is where the real action happens and how crossover voting impacts conservative candidates. A significant portion of the discussion focuses on gubernatorial overreach, examining Article 5, Section 10 of the North Dakota Constitution and how the current administration may be violating constitutional boundaries by recruiting and funding candidates to challenge sitting conservative legislators. The hosts argue this undermines the separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches. The conversation also covers the Legislative Audit and Fiscal Review Committee (LAFRC) and its upcoming March 24th hearing on school meal programs, addressing claims about "starving kids" and examining the proposed universal free lunch measure. They reveal that families of four earning up to $84,000 already qualify for free and reduced meals, questioning the necessity of expanding the program. Hoverson and Magrum emphasize the importance of state-level political engagement, arguing that regardless of federal politics, North Dakota's future depends on electing platform conservatives who will protect freedom, parental rights, and fiscal responsibility. #NorthDakotaPolitics #ConservativeLegislators #RepublicanPrimaryElections #LegislativeAudit #SchoolLunchPrograms #ConstitutionalSeparationPowers #GrassrootsActivism

    Dustin Gawrylow Watchdog Network discusses Initiated Measures

    In this episode of Open Range, host Gary Emineth sits down with Dustin Gawrylow, Managing Director of the Watchdog Network, for an in-depth discussion about the ongoing legislative assault on citizen-initiated measures in North Dakota. The conversation explores the rich history of ballot initiatives in the state, dating back to 1918 when the Nonpartisan League transformed the political landscape, and examines how this constitutional right is now under threat. Gawrylow provides critical analysis of two key measures facing North Dakota voters: Measure One in the June 2026 primary, which would impose a vaguely-defined "single subject rule" on initiated measures, and Measure Two in November, which would raise the threshold for passing constitutional amendments from 50% to 60%. Both measures represent what Gawrylow characterizes as the legislature's systematic attempt to erode powers explicitly reserved to the people in Article Three of the North Dakota Constitution. The discussion delves into the troubling pattern of legislative overreach, highlighting how Republican supermajority lawmakers have repeatedly attempted to restrict citizen participation despite voters consistently rejecting these limitations. Gawrylow explains how the proposed single subject rule would grant unprecedented, undefined power to the Secretary of State to unilaterally determine what constitutes a "single subject," potentially blocking legitimate citizen initiatives based on subjective interpretation. The conversation also covers the contentious term limits debate, property tax elimination efforts, and the fundamental question of whether elected officials trust the same voters who put them in office. Emineth and Gawrylow make a compelling case that these legislative maneuvers represent not just policy disagreements, but a fundamental challenge to constitutional governance and the balance of power between citizens and their representatives. This episode is essential viewing for anyone concerned about preserving democratic participation and constitutional rights in North Dakota. #NorthDakotaPolitics #InitiatedMeasures #ConstitutionalRights #TermLimits #VoterRights #northdakota

    Reice Haase Director of ND Water Resources discusses critical use and asset Water

    In this comprehensive interview on Open Range, host Gary Emineth sits down with Reice Haase, Director of the North Dakota Department of Water Resources, to explore the state's water infrastructure and management. Haase, a lifelong North Dakotan with a background in environmental science, discusses how his department oversees everything from water appropriations and flood control to major projects like the Southwest Pipeline and Northwest Area Water Supply. A key revelation is the critical role of North Dakota's oil industry in funding water infrastructure. Since 2007, nearly $4.5 billion in oil extraction tax revenue has been invested in water projects across the state, resulting in some of the lowest water costs in the nation at just $31 per month average. This funding supports flood control projects in Fargo and Minot, rural water systems, and drought relief programs for ranchers. Haase explains the state's "first in time, first in right" water appropriation system and highlights North Dakota's abundant water resources—using less than 0.5% of Missouri River flows annually and having 60 million acre feet of groundwater available. The department has deployed over 700 data collection units statewide, monitoring water levels in real-time to ensure sustainable management. Looking ahead, the department projects $3.4 billion in water needs over the next 14 years, with a potential $1.3 billion funding shortfall. To address this, they've implemented innovative cash management strategies and are studying long-term financing solutions. Major future projects include the Red River Valley Water Supply Project, which aims to bring Missouri River water to eastern North Dakota by 2031, ensuring continued water security for agriculture, municipalities, and industry statewide. #NorthDakotaWater #WaterResources #OilAndGasRevenue #WaterInfrastructure #AgriculturalWater

    Will Gardner Episode # 1 - Real Estate Education: What Buyers & Sellers Need to Know

    In this episode of Open Range, host Gary Emineth introduces a new real estate education segment featuring Will Gardner, a broker associate with Century 21 in the Bismarck-Mandan area. This recurring segment aims to help viewers understand the evolving real estate landscape, from financing options to regulatory changes affecting buyers and sellers. Will Gardner brings over a decade of real estate experience, specializing in helping first-time homebuyers achieve financial security through property ownership. With seven kids and a background in software, Will transitioned to real estate after recognizing how homeownership built equity and stability for his own family. He now serves clients statewide, focusing on residential properties while also handling commercial and land transactions. The discussion covers several critical topics affecting today's real estate market. New federal regulations, including FinCEN requirements set to take effect March 1st, will require greater disclosure from buyers and sellers, particularly those using corporate entities. These changes aim to combat money laundering but will impact privacy and transaction complexity. Recent legal changes have also transformed how real estate commissions work. Contrary to popular belief, commissions have never been fixed, but new requirements now mandate buyer agency agreements before showing properties. Despite these changes, over 90% of transactions still see sellers paying buyer agent commissions. The conversation explores how tools like Zillow have changed buyer and seller expectations, the importance of working with experienced professionals, and various financing options available to buyers. Topics for future segments include first-time homebuyer programs, North Dakota Housing Finance Agency benefits, contract-for-deed arrangements, and seasonal market trends. Gary and Will emphasize that real estate transactions involve complex legal and financial considerations where professional guidance proves invaluable, often saving buyers and sellers tens of thousands of dollars through proper navigation of contracts, disclosures, and negotiations. #northdakota #realestate #homebuyers #sellinghomes
