In a late-session shakeup at the North Dakota State Capitol, Representative Jeremy Olson (R-D26) has resigned as House Majority Caucus Leader, citing time constraints and professional obligations. Olson, who represents District 26 and serves on the Finance and Taxation and Energy and Natural Resources committees, submitted a letter to House Republican leadership on Tuesday, April 29, formally stepping down from the post effective immediately.
“It has been my honor and pleasure to serve,” Olson wrote, adding that the time demands of caucus leadership during the interim, coupled with his employment commitments, made it “not feasible” to continue. His departure leaves the Republican caucus without a floor leader as lawmakers approach the final days of the 2025 legislative session, triggering an expedited effort to name a successor before adjournment.
Olson’s resignation comes at a time of heightened senses following the Ray Holmberg revelations. With rumors flying, the Legislature is still struggling to find common ground on a property tax bill before the end of session, with this situation just clouding the waters further.
