Bismarck-area Republicans have named a new state lawmaker to fill out the term of Rep. George Keiser, who died last month. District 47 GOP Vice Chairman Robb Eckert will serve the remaining 10 months of Keiser’s term. He will not run for election this year. Eckert owns Bob Eckert Painting. Keiser died Dec. 22 at age 75 after battling ALS. Keiser was first elected to the North Dakota House in 1992. Eckert says he will “continue to work for those Republican policies which make Bismarck and North Dakota one of the best places to live.”
