Hoeven wins GOP endorsement for 3rd US Senate term

By Doug Barrett Apr 3, 2022 | 3:30 PM

North Dakota U.S. Sen. John Hoeven has won the endorsement of Republican convention delegates for a third term. Hoven bested a challenge from GOP state Rep. Rick Becker, who leads a growing ultraconservative wing of the party. More than 2,300 delegates were in attendance at the Bismarck Event Center Saturday afternoon, in what GOP organizers say was the best-attended convention in history. Becker painted his opponent as a big-spending, big government politician. But Hoeven’s emphasis on continuing North Dakota’s economic development and highlighting how he fiercely opposes almost all of the policies by the Biden administration prevailed.
