Doug Burgum answers voters questions in New Hampshire town hall

  • 7 months ago
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum will meet with voters on the morning of Friday, Oct. 13, 10 a.m. EST, as part of a series of town hall forums in Exeter, New Hampshire, hosted by the USA TODAY Network.
Elected governor in 2016 with little political experience, Burgum, 67, won his second term in a 40-point landslide in 2020.

On the campaign trail, Burgum talks about his small town roots and values and the challenges his family faced when his father died when Burgum was a freshman in high school. Burgum mortgaged the family farm to start a software company he later sold to Microsoft in 2001 for $1.1 billion.
