(North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakota Democrats endorsed Trygve Hammer to represent the party after a fiery convention speech critical of Republican incumbent Rep. Julie Fedorchak.

Hammer overwhelmingly defeated Democratic-NPL candidates Vern Thompson and Helene Neville to secure the party’s nomination. Hammer, a former Marine and graduate of the Naval Academy, invoked a famous Navy phrase while pledging to stand by North Dakotans.

“I will not give up the ship and I believe that we will win,” Hammer said during his convention speech.

Hammer criticized Fedorchak repeatedly over what he sees as failures to stand up to President Donald Trump and Republican policies, such as tariffs and health care cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
