(North Dakota Monitor) – The North Dakota Democratic-NPL Party expects to see many new faces at its state convention this weekend but it also will need to find new leadership among its legislators.

Adam Goldwyn, chair of the Dem-NPL Party, said he is anticipating the strongest convention attendance since former Sen. Heidi Heitkamp ran for reelection eight years ago.

“I think that’s just a reflection of the energy we’re seeing in our party across the state,” Goldwyn said.

Four years ago, he said about half of the legislative races were uncontested by Dem-NPL candidates, but this year he expects at least one candidate in every legislative district and full slates of candidates in multiple districts.
