A former International Falls resident is making his first bid for public office in North Dakota.
Scott Edward Haugen, a Democratic candidate for the North Dakota House of Representatives, filed the necessary papers April 9 to run in the June 8 primary election. Haugen announced his candidacy last January at a press conference in Fargo, N.D. He is seeking a legislative seat for State District 21, which encompasses the downtown portion of the city.
“I feel that North Dakota’s phenomenal potential, in respect to its tremendous resources, our state’s $1 billion surplus, and the extraordinary people who call it home, has yet to reach its fullest potential,” Haugen said. “I have so many ideas and solutions that can help move our state forward, and benefit its citizens, in a way that is about reaching a great, new pinnacle of change and prosperity that will be good for everyone here in North Dakota.”
Haugen, 29, who lived with his family in Ranier in 1991, and in International Falls from 1991 to 1994, is a graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. He is a long-time resident of Fargo where he is a community organizer and human rights activist.
Haugen referred to his principal motivation for running, saying, “If I really want to see significant, progressive change happen, in a way that is truly in the best interests of North Dakota and its people, then I figured I better step up to the plate and try to help make it happen. And that’s why I’m running.”
