Roger Slotsve
North Dakota House

“I am happy to endorse Roger Slotsve for the North Dakota House from District 5. Roger puts a high priority on public education funding and property tax relief at the local level and feels these tow issues are tied together and need to be addressed at the same time. Roger Slotsve’s background as a school administrator provides valuable knowledge and understanding in these areas. He will be a hard worker, conscientious, a good listener, and proactive in working with the Fifth District team in all legislative areas.”
