BISMARCK — State Representative Rick Becker, R-Dis. 7, announced he is running for the United States Senate against longtime Senator John Hoeven.
He released a statement saying, "Washington, D.C. is a cesspool of corrupt politicians. The only solution to fix this problem is to send passionate, strong conservatives who will not fail the people of North Dakota and America."
Becker is a plastic surgeon, businessman, and state legislator. He was elected to the North Dakota State House in 2012 and recently announced he would not be seeking another term in the state legislature.
