BISMARCK, N.D. (KFGO) – Republican Drew Wrigley won his bid to continue as North Dakota’s Attorney General after defeating Democratic challenger Tim Lamb on Tuesday. Wrigley was appointed to the position by Governor Doug Burgum after the death of Wayne Stenehjem.
Wrigley says he worked hard this year to balance the duties of the job and the campaign, but he says he’s eager to turn his full focus to the position and his priorities for the next four years.
“We’ve got a full agenda legislatively, and then within the office with this upcoming legislative session to promote and pursue important objectives for violent crime initiatives that we have and dealing with some gaming issues we have in the state, and a host of issues across – I’ve got an office of 254 people and 13 division directors – no dearth of subject matters to wrestle with,” Wrigley said.
Wrigley won the race with 71% of the vote.
