(Casselton, ND) -- Casselton's state house representative is throwing his hat in the ring for North Dakota Secretary of State.

35-year-old Michael Howe, who is also a fifth-generation family farmer, officially launched his campaign Tuesday morning. Howe currently represents District 22, a largely rural area of Cass County, in the North Dakota House of Representatives.

“In 2016, I ran for the legislature to fight for farmers, ranchers, small businesses and families,” said Howe. “I believe our true strength comes from our people, not from our government.”

Part of his campaign is describing Howe as a "business owner who understands the unique challenges we face today and will cut red tape to ensure North Dakota is the easiest place to start and grow a business".

“While North Dakota continues to feed and fuel the world, our biggest challenges often come from politicians in D.C.,” said Howe. “North Dakotans should always be in charge of North Dakota’s elections.”
