The new Democratic administration is showing us what can happen when we put the needs of the people over partisan politics. For decades, Republicans have had supermajority control over the government in North Dakota. Our leaders are failing and our communities are suffering. Our state legislature has not passed a single piece of legislation that focuses on how we protect working families, restore our economy and ensure our key traditional industries evolve to address the changing energy and agricultural markets. In a Jan. 27 executive order on tackling the climate crisis, the president said his administration sees farmers “making American agriculture first in the world to achieve net-zero emissions and gaining new sources of income in the process,” giving North Dakota the opportunity to lead into the future.

The package also proposed a $5 billion Rural Partnership Program to support locally led initiatives to create jobs and economic growth in rural America. “It is not a plan that tinkers around the edges,” said Biden during a speech at a carpenters training center near Pittsburgh. It would be “the largest American jobs investment since World War II,” said the president. “These are investments we have to make.” He proposed higher taxes on corporations for 15 years to pay for the infrastructure work, which would be spread over eight years.
