WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer, R-ND, issued the following statement after Lieutenant Governor Brent Sanford announced his resignation:
“Kris and I thank Lieutenant Governor Sanford for his work for and dedication to our great state during the past six years. Brent’s long and decorated career in public service took him from beloved mayor of Watford City to a staple in Bismarck. His particular attention to the policies surrounding our energy and natural resources have made our state and nation stronger. North Dakota is a better place because of his mark. We wish him and his family all the best in this next chapter.”
