Dr. Rick Becker, a leading candidate for North Dakota’s at-large congressional seat, is currently caught in a battle between the Republican establishment and America First conservatives. Becker identifies as a pro-liberty constitutional conservative, with key legislative priorities including border security, environmentalism, and addressing inflation. He has a strong track record in the state House and received a 100 percent conservative rating from the American Conservative Union Foundation. Becker entered the race following Rep. Kelly Armstrong’s decision to run for governor instead of seeking reelection. The GOP primary in North Dakota is swiftly approaching on June 11.
Becker holds a significant lead in the polls to replace Armstrong, which has prompted opposition from establishment figures in support of Julie Fedorchak, a candidate with ties to Romney and big pharma. Fedorchak failed to attend a primary debate in May, leading Becker to emphasize the importance of electing principled and strong leaders to Congress. Becker’s endorsements include Sen. Rand Paul, Rep. Matt Gaetz, and the House Freedom Caucus, with a PAC backing his campaign with $200,000. He prioritizes securing the southern border and promoting North Dakota’s energy potential while pushing back against progressive policies and defending America’s free economy. Becker emphasizes the need for bold leadership and a focus on America First principles in Washington.
