North Dakota Lt. Governor Tammy Miller has had a front row seat to four years of the governor’s arena. Now, she’s looking for a chance to play the game herself.
Miller, former CEO of Fargo-based Border States Electric, announced February 15th, that she hopes to succeed her current boss, Doug Burgum, who is not running for re-election.
“I have been contemplating a run for a while and finally made the decision, and it’s so exciting to make the announcement. Leading up to this, I looked at my background as a CEO at Border States, where I served for 14 years. I am a CPA, I have a strong financial background. I’ve created jobs, grown a business, know how to balance a budget, and maximize dollars, and I thought I need to take these skills to the citizens of North Dakota. I think my private industry experience will be very helpful to continuing the momentum in the state and taking it to the next level.”
