US EditionTrygve Hammer Announces Run for U.S. House
Trygve Hammer, who won 30% in 2024, seeks to reclaim congressional powers and improve representation for North Dakota in the 2026 House race.
- On Monday, Jan. 19, Trygve Hammer, Democratic-NPL candidate, launched his campaign seeking North Dakota's lone U.S. House seat as a Velva, North Dakota native.
- After prior statewide bids, Hammer argues this will be his fourth straight election cycle and third statewide appearance, saying issues from the 2024 campaign remain unaddressed.
- Hammer has been meeting voters in person, including mingling at the Red River Valley Fairgrounds Hartl Ag Building on July 12, 2024, and speaking at the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration in Minot tonight.
- With multiple GOP hopefuls, the primary field remains contested as Cando native Alex Balazs campaigns for the Republican nomination, reinforcing a competitive GOP side of the race.
- Political observers say statewide fundamentals haven't shifted, with commentators noting Hammer's campaign resembles his prior run and analysts doubting any Democrat can beat Rep. Julie Fedorchak.
