Senator Kevin Cramer✓

Learning of Dale Brown's death makes my heart hurt badly. I immediately went to my voice mail box to hear him tell me he loves me again and again. Dale was one of a kind. He was the most generous soul I have ever known, and likely ever will. I am blessed like thousands of others, to have known him and loved him and to have learned endless lessons. He was a proud son of North Dakota with a heart as big as the prairies themselves. As we mourn and remember Dale over the next several days, like you, I will reflect a lot. Each memory will heal our hearts a little as we smile and laugh and admire this incredible friend to literally thousands. I have to stop for now. I cannot see through the tears. I love you Dale! Thank you for loving me when I didn't deserve it. God is good!

Always enjoy visiting with the North Dakota Department of Financial Institutions! North Dakota’s community banks are special. They know their customers, understand our rural economy, and play an important role in keeping our communities strong. We had a good discussion about regulatory certainty, commonsense regulations, and the challenges facing community banks. Thanks for the invitation and the great conversation!

Happy 168th Birthday to President Theodore Roosevelt! North Dakota’s rugged Badlands left a lasting mark on him, offering a place of refuge, renewal, and inspiration that helped shape his legacy. Today, his enduring spirit lives on through Theodore Roosevelt National Park, our national parks, and the @TRPresLibrary in historic Medora, where his remarkable connection to the West continues to inspire generations of admirers.

Reauthorizing and modernizing EXIM will supercharge one of America’s most powerful tools to strengthen U.S. economic competitiveness and energy leadership at a time when aggressive, pro-energy development is needed on the global stage — and is being provided by our greatest adversary. Read my @thehill op-ed on unleashing EXIM to outcompete China.

Enjoyed meeting with Northern Plains Nitrogen to discuss opportunities to strengthen domestic fertilizer production, particularly in high-demand agricultural regions like ours.

I valued the opportunity to visit with members of @IndBeefAssoc_ND today about the issues facing North Dakota ranchers, especially during these challenging economic times.

Great discussion with the Western Area Water Supply Authority to discuss the Williston water treatment plant. I appreciated the update they provided and the work they are doing to strengthen water infrastructure across western North Dakota.

I appreciated the chance to sit down with Bridget Turbide of @RightToLifeND and Steve Cates to discuss the fight to protect life in North Dakota.

Watch my interview with Joe Kernen on @SquawkCNBC regarding the upcoming midterm elections. Republicans have a good story to tell, from no tax on tips and overtime to putting more money back in the pockets of hardworking Americans.

Space Force moves to give startups a foothold in classified programs. Diversity of options is critical to readiness and long term lethality, not to mention affordability that comes from competition. via @SpaceNews_Inc

Today I joined the community of Hazen in dedicating a sculpture of the US Air Force’s SR-71  Blackbird and Hazen’s very own exceptional patriot, Major General Eldon Joersz.   For nearly 24 years the iconic SR-71 operated as a strategic reconnaissance plane flying strategic missions from 1966 to 1990. Fifty years ago, Major General Eldon Joersz made history by becoming the fastest flying man alive when he flew the SR-71 over three times the speed of sound, reaching  a record breaking 2,193.176 mph. A record that still stands!   “Today was not just about marking history. It's not just about pride. It is about imagining the future. It’s also about these young people who are here, that never know what it is to have had to go to war. But now they'll be able to come here, see this monument, and understand the cost of it.”   As Americans, let us embrace this bold and adventurous spirit, pushing past existing limits to redefine what is truly possible. Retired Major General Eldon Joersz, we thank you for your exceptional service to our country! Please accept the thanks of North Dakota.

Joined Dagen McDowell on @FoxBusiness’ “Big Money in the Morning” to discuss Starshield and Ukraine.  Space is critical to modern warfare, and we need to ensure the US and our allies have access to these critical space systems like Starshield. We also discussed the need to refine our own oil and the opportunity of permitting reform which would benefit all forms of linear infrastructure.

The benefit of being a Senator from North Dakota is I get to know all of the NDHA members and have an opportunity to meet with them and hear firsthand about their successes and challenges. This makes me a stronger advocate for them and their colleagues in other states will benefit as a result.

After hearing about the challenges faced by Sea Foam, I led a delegation letter calling on @USCPSC to get this right and stop applying portable fuel container regulations to fuel additives. Good to see the Commission finalized its new course of action. We need sensible regulations to protect consumers without the bureaucracy getting in the way of North Dakota businesses.

The Offerdahl Engineering Complex is the best kind of playground for @NDSU students to transform their curiosity and training into the workforce of tomorrow. Nothing beats hands on learning to foster American innovation!
