Dr. Rick Becker, the leading candidate for a major seat in North Dakota’s state legislature, is in the middle of a proxy war between the Republican establishment and America First conservatives.
Becker is promoting his candidacy as a constitutional conservative who champions freedom. His top legislative priorities are ensuring President Joe Biden opens borders, protects the environment and controls inflation. He served as a state representative from 2012 until 2022, pushing for America First legislation. Achievements.American Conservative Union Foundation Award It was the only 100 percent conservative rating in North Dakota in 2021.
Becker jumped into the race after Rep. Kelly Armstrong (R-North Dakota) decided to run for governor instead of running for reelection in Washington. Armstrong announced his retirement from Congress on January 23.
With the state’s Republican primary on June 11, candidates have had little time to make their case to voters.
“This race is less about two candidates and more about the choice North Dakotans will make between the status quo Republicans of the past and the pro-freedom Republicans of the future,” Becker told Breitbart. spoke exclusively to the News.
Mr. Becker holds a double-digit lead to succeed Mr. Armstrong, according to a Breitbart News poll obtained in March.

“I think she sent a loud and clear message to her viewers about the candidates who chose not to be here,” Becker told the debate audience. “I’m running because I believe that America is in a very difficult situation. We have no backing, we bow to pressure, we have no principles, or at least those principles. We got here by putting people in Congress who didn’t have the backbone to protect them.”
Mr. Fedorchak had previously attacked Mr. Becker for his active opposition to the Biden administration’s radical policies.
“You can’t be the bull in the china store and just annoy people and alienate people,” she told WZFG. “You have to be able to work together, respect others, and sit down.” [to] Let’s discuss the issues and how we can find common ground and build the alliances and coalitions needed to solve the serious problems facing this country. ”
Becker, who supported former President Donald Trump, is joined by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Ron Paul, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), the House Freedom Caucus, and Rep. Eric Burleson. (R-Missouri), and President Trump ally Vivek Ramaswamy. Becker’s campaign told Breitbart News that Action PAC, run by Paul’s former staffers, gave Becker $200,000 in support.
“The days of Romney Republican RINOs are over,” Becker exclusively told Breitbart News. “North Dakotans want an America First candidate who will put North Dakotans above special interests.”
Becker said he is focused on securing the southern border and unlocking North Dakota’s energy potential. That means actively suppressing the Democratic Party’s woke agenda of restructuring America’s free economy into a socialist state and allowing Border Patrol to enforce the nation’s laws.
“I think we’re at a point where people are really looking for someone to fight boldly and work on what I call a progressive, woke agenda,” Becker said. Said Associated Press.
“What’s frustrating to all of us in America today is the fact that we just want someone to be honest with us.
Dr. Becker is honest and sincere, and we need more of that in Washington.
Thanks to Rick Becker, I can walk on two legs today. ”
