Former North Dakota lawmaker Vern Thompson endorsed for agriculture commissioner to challenge incumbent Doug Goehring.
Vern Thompson, a former North Dakota lawmaker and farmer from Fargo, has been endorsed by the Democratic-NPL Party for agriculture commissioner after losing the party’s nomination for U.S. House.
He aims to challenge Republican incumbent Doug Goehring, who has held the post since 2009 and won re-election in 2022.
Thompson cites a severe farm crisis marked by rising costs, corporate land consolidation, and market pressures, pledging to support family farmers and advocate for rural communities.
The Democratic Party did not select candidates at its convention, leaving the decision to its executive committee.
No Republican has officially announced a primary challenge, and Goehring is not attending the GOP State Convention.
Thompson will not oppose the Democratic House nominee, Trygve Hammer, in the June 9 primary.
