(. North Dakota Monitor) – The executive director of the North Dakota Republican Party is resigning to become a lobbyist for a school choice organization.
Andrew Nyhus said he has a contract with the American Federation for Children.
Nyhus said school choice is a topic he has been passionate about but felt obligated to stay neutral in his role with the NDGOP. School choice, which can include private school vouchers, refers to programs that offer alternatives to students’ assigned public school.
Nyhus said the school choice issue “has the most potential to be transformative for society, for the state.”
