FARGO (KFGO) – A former chair of the North Dakota Democratic-NPL party died on election day.
Mark Schneider also served as regional attorney for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and was chair of the North Dakota Governor’s Council on Human Resources.
Former North Dakota Congressman Earl Pomeroy said Mark Schneider was a man who wanted to stand up to the problems of the world and make things better. The drive and determination would continue when Schneider returned to North Dakota and served as the DEM-NPL Party Chair.
“In addition to his commitment to advancing motions of justice in our society, he was just one heck of a good guy and so much fun to be with,” Pomeroy said.
Schneider lived most of his life in Fargo and founded the Schneider Law Firm which is now run by his son, Mac Schneider.
Mac Schneider has been nominated by President Biden to become the U.S. Attorney for North Dakota. He is still awaiting Senate confirmation.
Mary Schneider, Mark’s wife who has served in the House of Representatives since 2014, was re-elected on Tuesday in District 21 in Fargo.
Mark Schneider was 74.
