Who is David Andahl?

He was running for election to the North Dakota House of Representatives at the 2020 US Presidential election representing Republicans as a part of the Donald Trump 2020 presidential campaign.

On October 5th, David passed away but he was not replaced on the ballot because his death was too close to the election and mail-in ballots had already been sent to voters.

Before he died, David won a heated primary with an incumbent committee chairman. Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) had endorsed the Bismarck rancher, saying, “we need more Trump Republicans in the State Legislature.”

But who will replace David Andahl lies with the Republican party, which will assemble a committee for the purpose, although there may also be calls for a special election to be held.

Talking about his education, he graduated from Century High School in Bismarck in 1983, received an associate degree from Bismarck State College, and studied animal science at North Dakota State University.

David is a successful rancher and land developer, serving as a partner and general manager of 4T Ranch, located north of Bismarck. Furthermore, the ranch, which is primarily a cattle and custom hay operation, has been in the Andahl family for three generations and serves as a lasting legacy of the Andahls’ investment in North Dakota.

Besides this, he served 16 years on the Burleigh County Planning & Zoning Commission, including eight years as chair of the commission during a time of rapid growth and change for the region.

David spent time as a successful motor racing driver and after his retirement, he even worked as a contractor, where he served as trainer and driving coach for automobile manufacturers and organizations around the country.

On his website, David quoted “Now’s the time for conservatives to lead North Dakota into the future, with a focus on strengthening the economy and making government more efficient and effective. My background in agriculture and business as well as the local government will bring a much-needed perspective to the legislature.”
