Heitkamp Statement on North Dakota's 125 Years of Statehood

Statement

U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp today released the following statement ahead of North Dakota's 125th anniversary of statehood:

"All across North Dakota, folks have always found a way to come together. From the vast prairies to the badlands of the west to the growing cities -- every day we continue to strengthen our collective pride in this land we call home. We see this pride in the rich heritage of our Native brothers and sisters, we see it in our farmers who work from sun-up to sun-down to help feed our state and the world, and we see it in every day events like planning weddings and family reunions around harvest and season openers. Throughout the past 125 years, North Dakota and its people have come a long way -- through tough times, unprecedented economic prosperity, and everything in between. But I know that with our continued dedication and unparalleled hard work, we can keep creating incredible success and opportunity -- together -- for 125 more years."

On Sunday, November 2, Heitkamp will attend the newly expanded and renovated North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum's grand opening on the grounds of the State Capitol in Bismarck, as part of the state's official ceremonies to mark its 125th anniversary of statehood.
