CAVALIER, ND- Following the Feb. 5th Super Tuesday Caucus in Cavalier, Sen. Curtis Olafson, Rep. Chuck Damschen, and Rep. David Monson all received the District 10 Republican Party endorsement for the 2008 legislative election.
Sen. Olafson is from rural Mountain and is a partner in a family business with interests in farming, ranching and earthmoving construction. Olafson was appointed to the Senate in December of 2006 to fill the remainder of the term of former Sen. Tom Trenbeath, who accepted the position of Chief Deputy Attorney General. Olafson was named the 2007 “Legislator of the Year” by the North Dakota Township Officers Association, being the first time a freshman legislator was honored with the award. Olafson is married to Bjork Eiriksdottir, a native of Iceland, and has two children and three step-children.
Rep. Chuck Damschen, a farmer near Hampden, is seeking his second term of office. Damschen has served on the House Agriculture and Human Services committees bringing experience and knowledge to the table in an even-headed and direct manner. His service in the legislature, as well as on several community boards, has greatly benefited the area. Damschen is Vice Chairman of the Natural Resources committee and received the “Board Award” from the North Dakota Hunter Educators Association. He and his wife, Alice, have three children.
Rep. David Monson, a farmer and school teacher from the Osnabrock area, is the current House Assistant Majority Leader. In his position as assistant leader and on the House Appropriations committee, Monson has worked to bring commonsense solutions to funding issues that deal with everything from education to agriculture. Monson has been a strong leader at the fore front of the legalization of industrial hemp. He is committed to removing restrictions that tie the hands of North Dakota’s farmers and industries. He and his wife, Mary, have three children.
District 10 GOP Chairman, Steve Holm, believes that this team will not only win in November but will deliver for Northeastern North Dakota.
“I feel our legislators have shown they are competent, proven leaders, and they have continually demonstrated their abilities to bring new ideas and critical thought to the legislative process,” said Holm.
