Dem-NPL Challenger Lisa Finley-DeVille Wins Primary for 
District 4A House

(MANDAREE, N.D.)—

First, I thank and acknowledge Thomasina Mandan for running for District 4A House, we know the difficulties and challenges we face running for any office. 

Thank you to all who voted for me in the June primary election, I am grateful for your support.  I’m very excited to move forward and will again ask you to vote for me in the November 8th, General Election.

The journey to gain our own legislative seat with Native representation has been difficult but it is now a reality.  Though we are in a legal battle over the redistricting of District 4, we know how much power comes with this position.  Which is why we must continue to fight for our own representation.  Our voices must be included at every decision-making table so that we will have a voice for our future.

As Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara people, we will continue to work together to find upstream solutions for our communities.  I am not against oil and gas, but I believe we can do a better job at protecting the environment and our health.  We have also learned the hard lesson of human trafficking and the increasing epidemic of Missing Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP).  We need to hold true to our values and continue to seek responsible development and keep all our relatives safe.

Thank you again to the voters of District 4A, during this pandemic, it hasn’t been easy for any of us.  But know that with your vote and support anything is possible and we will take our voice to the Capitol when I win.  Please stay engaged and stay involved.  Contact me to find out how you can help my campaign.  We have a lot of work to do, I could not get this far without you, together we can make it happen come November.  I encourage your friends and family to get to the polls for the General Election.
