Cara Mund brought her independent bid for the U.S. House to Grand Forks today.
The Bismarck native and former Miss America is traveling North Dakota in an effort to gather 1,000 signature to get on the ballot. The 28-year old Mund says she’s not there…yet. “It takes work and perseverance. Every stop I am getting one step closer. So I am not at one thousand. I do want to get significantly over a thousand so It still feels like I have a ways to go.”
Mund says the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion rights prompted her to enter the race.
If she gathers the signatures she will face incumbent Republican U.S. Representative Kelly Armstrong and Democrat Mark Haugen.
Mund is gathering signatures at the Archives Coffee House this afternoon. She will set up shop at the Myra Museum Gazebo this evening (5-8 p.m.)
