George Gaukler
VALLEY CITY, N.D. (KFGO KVRR) – Former North Dakota Dem-NPL Chair George Gaukler died Tuesday at the age of 88.
Gaulker was party chair from 1980 to 1994, a time that saw two to three seats in Congress held by North Dakota Democrats. All three seats are now held by Republicans.
Former Congressman Earl Pomeroy said Gaukler was like an older brother to him and was the most effective State Chairman the Democratic Party ever had.
“North Dakota lost one of its most prominent businessmen in the passing of Valley City’s George Gaukler, said former State Sen. Larry Robinson who recently retired as Executive Director of the Valley City State University Foundation.
Gaukler spent his life in real estate development building single family homes and apartments.
A celebration of life for the Valley City developer will be held on Thursday, April 10 at Center for the Arts on the Valley City State University campus.
