Your Leader for Ag, Energy and Infrastructure

A Proven Conservative Leader

Our energy, agriculture, and telecommunications industries have been major contributors to our economic growth, and the Public Service Commission has a direct impact on all of them. As your Public Service Commissioner, Randy Christmann has worked tirelessly to ensure our state provides an environment in which these industries can continue to grow and prosper, while still protecting the lands and traditions we love. As a result, these industries have bolstered our economy, created unprecedented wealth for our state, and supported more new jobs and careers than ever before.

MEET RANDY

PRIORITIES

Randy Christmann has been a proven leader in enabling the development of our natural resources while protecting private property rights and our land and water.

North Dakota is blessed with abundant natural resources. Agriculture is engrained in our state’s identity, and technology and innovation have unlocked vast energy resources that power not only our state, but our nation.

The responsible development of both industries has bolstered our economy, created unprecedented wealth for our state, and supported more new jobs and careers than ever before. The continued growth of all these sectors, however, must have a strong foundation and infrastructure, and Randy remains committed to strengthening the state’s ability to develop and deliver these crucial products and services.

PRESERVING OUR LANDS AND LAWS

PRESERVING OUR LANDS AND LAWS

With North Dakota’s growth in energy development, many outside organizations and agencies have attempted to gain control of our regulatory role and impose burdensome regulations. This has threatened our economic progress and increased the cost of our utilities and cost of living. We must remain alert and reassert our success in regulating our own industries and allow for the lawful and responsible development of infrastructure projects.

Our state has done a tremendous job in putting the laws and regulations in place that ensure the safety and protection of some of our greatest natural resources: our land, air and water. North Dakota currently enjoys some of the cleanest air and water in the nation. Randy will remain dedicated to making sure it stays that way by following the laws and fighting to maintain the local control that keep North Dakota a great place to live.

AGRICULTURE

AGRICULTURE

The development of our energy resources and infrastructure is vital to supporting our economy, but it must be balanced with the rights of our landowners and preservation of our land in mind. As a rancher and landowner, a legislator in energy country and through his service on the PSC, Randy has extensive experience in working with both landowners and industry and bringing them together to come to agreement that will benefit both. This means ensuring that landowners have the opportunity to provide input and that reclamation of their land remains a top priority following the construction or operation of a project.

TRANSMISSION & TELECOMMUNICATIONS

TRANSMISSION & TELECOMMUNICATIONS

The rapid growth of our energy industries has been matched only by our state’s population. As our cities and businesses have grown, so has the need for dependable utilities, including affordable electricity and fast internet.

Over the last 11 years, Randy and the PSC have worked to permit and approve major high-voltage powerlines to serve the electricity needs of western North Dakota that is powered by North Dakota’s vast coal and natural gas resources.

ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE

ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE

North Dakota is an energy powerhouse for our nation and we're proud of our role in helping move the United States closer to energy independence and stabilize energy prices for consumers. A crucial part of this, however, is ensuring we have the infrastructure in place to move our products - whether its crude oil from the Bakken or electricity from the coal mines - to market as safely, economically and efficiently as possible. Although we have made great progress, we must ensure the integrity of our infrastructure endures, and Randy will remain committed to holding companies accountable to the maintenance of systems and safeguarding of our other natural resources, while also advocating for landowners’ rights.
