The Associated Press is projecting Trygve Hammer to win North Dakota’s single-district Democratic primary for House of Representatives.
Hammer, a former teacher and military veteran, was running against Roland Reimers in the Democratic nomination race to replace Republican Rep. Kelly Armstrong.
Armstrong is running for the Republican gubernatorial nomination instead of seeking re-election to the House of Representatives after Republican Governor Doug Burgum decided not to seek re-election to a third term as governor.
