About
Source: Government page
Congressman Kelly Armstrong is a lifelong, devoted North Dakotan and a tireless advocate for making North Dakota a better place to live and work. With his background in business, his love for the outdoors and his volunteer and public service experience, Kelly is fighting for our North Dakota values in Washington and working to advance positive changes to benefit our state and country.
Early Years
Kelly’s childhood in Dickinson, North Dakota, inspired in him a passion for the outdoors. In the summers, he could be found on Lake Sakakawea and during the fall he was bow hunting in the badlands.
After graduating from Dickinson High School in 1995, Kelly attended the University of North Dakota but continued to grow his roots in Dickinson, returning home in the summers to coach the Dickinson Roughriders American Legion baseball team. Kelly earned a bachelor’s degree from UND in 2001 and a law degree from UND law school in 2003.
It was at UND law school where Kelly met the love of his life, Kjersti. She was part of a law school exchange program with her university in Norway. They married in 2004 and spent the early years of their marriage in Grand Forks, where Kelly began his law career while Kjersti finished her degree.
Kelly and Kjersti later moved back home to Dickinson, and Kelly opened a second office of the law firm. While practicing law, Kelly became known as someone who worked tirelessly for his clients and gained the respect of his counterparts, the judiciary and law enforcement.
Back home in Dickinson, Kelly and Kjersti started their family. Anna was born in 2007 and Eli in 2010.
In 2011, Kelly joined his family’s business, Armstrong Corporation, where he served as vice president. Founded in 1975, this small family business expanded over time to include oil and gas exploration, agricultural operations and investments in local businesses and striving entrepreneurs. The Armstrong family’s commitment to their community was officially recognized with the Roughrider Award (not the big one… there isn’t a painting of the Armstrongs hanging in the North Dakota Capitol) in 2013 for their initiative to employ and provide opportunities for veterans returning from deployment overseas.
Commitment to Community
Kelly’s commitment to family and community is evident in everything he does. A recipient of the North Dakota Bar Association’s Community Service Award, Kelly served as a volunteer fireman for the Dickinson Fire Department from 2005 through 2012, coached girls’ softball and boys’ baseball and is active in charitable works for many local organizations, including his local hospital, university, police association, volunteer fire department, best friends mentoring program, domestic violence rape crisis center, and the Teddy Roosevelt Bully Pulpit Board. He also served as President of the Dickinson Baseball club for ten years and was elected to the North Dakota Dickinson Baseball Hall of Fame in 2017.
Kelly grew his service to the community in 2012, when he was elected to the North Dakota State Senate for District 36. Chairing multiple committees during his service, Kelly spearheaded DUI reform legislation, a $2 billion statewide infrastructure investment and solving the lakebed mineral crisis.
Kelly was elected Chairman of the North Dakota Republican Party in 2015 after seeing firsthand the need for decisive and effective leadership of the party. Kelly led the state party in 2016 to landslide victories for President Donald Trump, Gov. Doug Burgum and North Dakota legislative majorities.
Congressional Service
Washington needs our North Dakota values now more than ever, and no one embodies them more than Kelly. The real changes in Washington are just beginning, and Kelly’s commitment, energy and drive will keep pushing those positive changes forward.
North Dakota’s agricultural and energy industries provide the country and the world with food, oil, gas and electricity. In Congress, Kelly works to protect the livelihood of farmers and ranchers, unleash North Dakota’s full energy potential and ensure North Dakota has a strong voice.
Kelly serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee for the 117th Congress. Kelly was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives representing the entire state of North Dakota in 2018.

Caucuses
Congressman Armstrong is a member of several bipartisan congressional caucuses, which are voluntary groups created by House members to pursue common legislative objectives. Caucuses often promote and educate other House members about the particular topic on which the caucus was formed. To view a full list of congressional caucuses, please visit the House Administration Committee’s website here.
Friends of Norway Caucus – Co-Chair
The bipartisan Friends of Norway Caucus works to strengthen the relationship and open dialogue between the United States and Norway on a variety of issues that have both bilateral and global impacts. More than 30 percent of North Dakotans, nearly 200,000 people, have Norwegian ancestry, more than any other state per capita. Only California, Wisconsin, and Minnesota are home to more Norwegian Americans than North Dakota. Congressman Armstrong is a co-chair of this caucus.
Congressional Caucus on Youth Sports – Co-Chair
The bipartisan Congressional Caucus on Youth Sports promotes the values of sportsmanship, civility, respect, health, safety, fun, and physical activity among players and leaders, including coaches, parents, and officials.
The purpose of this caucus is to educate members of Congress, the media, and the public on the need to restore a child-centered focus in youth sports that will produce immeasurable positive benefits for the well-being and character development among this nation’s youth. Congressman Armstrong is a co-chair of this caucus.
Fire Services Caucus
As a volunteer firefighter from 2005 to 2012, Congressman Armstrong knows the sacrifice and hard work it takes to be a firefighter. That’s why he has joined the Fire Services Caucus. Established in 1987, the Fire Services Caucus was created to educate members of Congress about fire and life safety issues. Since then, it remains a bipartisan coalition where Republicans and Democrats work together in recognizing the valor and dedication of the American fire service. The caucus is about respect and admiration for our nation’s first responders. It provides a forum for members of Congress to learn more about the fire service and the issues and challenges facing our one million firefighters and emergency services personnel.
Firefighters have a proud tradition of protecting communities across our nation. They are the first to respond when disasters strike. In many instances, they are the pillars of our communities. In addition to their official duties, they are involved in community activities including local blood drives, Fourth of July celebrations, civic events and charitable campaigns.
Air Force Caucus
The bipartisan Air Force Caucus highlights the critical importance of the United States Air Force in keeping Americans safe at home and abroad. Air Force Caucus members hold meetings, briefings, and other events detailing the successes of the Air Force enterprise and the challenges our country’s airmen face while operating in the complex warfighting domains of air, space and cyberspace.
Coal Caucus
The bipartisan Coal Caucus is dedicated to discussing issues related to the coal industry and educating other members on the subject. The Caucus holds both member and staff meetings with administration officials, industry experts, and others to update members on the status of the coal industry and to discuss the policies affecting it. The caucus also discusses the future of coal, both in the United States and globally, and the various innovative technologies that will decrease the industry’s environmental impact.
Rural Broadband Caucus
The Rural Broadband Caucus educates its bipartisan roster of members and staff on issues relevant to broadband deployment and access. According to the 2018 Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Broadband Report, 24 million Americans lack access to advanced fixed broadband, and nearly one-third of rural Americans lack access to mobile broadband. Rural communities must have adequate broadband infrastructure to attract and retain businesses and human resources, close the homework gap for students and teachers, open innovative and convenient pathways to telemedicine for seniors and providers, and help farmers increase efficiencies in their barns and on their land.
Northern Border Caucus
The Northern Border Caucus is for members who represent districts (or states) that are on or near the U.S.-Canadian border. The bipartisan caucus focuses on policy concerns affecting the economic, cultural, and political partnership between the two countries.
Northern Border Security Caucus
The Northern Border Security Caucus is for members who are concerned about the increased human and drug trafficking, along with the decrease in Border Patrol agents and lack of security, along the U.S.-Canada border.
National Guard and Reserve Caucus
The National Guard and Reserve Caucus pursues legislative and policy initiatives that ensure the National Guard and Reserve components have strong representation on policy, procurement, force structure and utilization within the Department of Defense. The caucus is also committed to improving employment and education opportunities for National Guard and Reserve personnel returning from overseas deployments.
Sportsmen’s Caucus
The Sportsmen’s Caucus works to protect the interests of America’s sportsmen and women and advance sound wildlife management policy. Prompted by the increasing frequency and alarming success of attacks on hunting, fishing, and the shooting sports, the caucus was founded in 1989 to protect the interests of America’s sportsmen and women. Today, the caucus is one of the largest caucuses in Congress with nearly 300 members and nearly all 50 states represented in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.
Congressional Cooperative Business Caucus
The Congressional Cooperative Business Caucus creates a venue for elected officials like myself to better understand the important role that cooperatives play in the development of our national and international economy. The bipartisan caucus facilitates briefings to promote greater awareness and understanding of cooperative business issues. The caucus is also a forum for members of Congress to share best practices and work to improve the effectiveness of policy to benefit and promote the cooperative business model nationally and internationally.
Congressional Crop Insurance Caucus
The Congressional Crop Insurance Caucus is dedicated to educating members of Congress and their staff about the importance of the federal crop insurance program administered by USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA). The caucus works with stakeholders to organize educational briefings in order to help members and staff better understand the program and remain apprised of current crop insurance issues.
Congressional Western Caucus
The Congressional Western Caucus is a bipartisan coalition of nearly 70 members of Congress from 35 different states and territories who advocate for rural, western, and resource-based communities.
Congressional General Aviation Caucus
One of the largest, most active caucuses in Congress is dedicated to general aviation. The purpose of the caucus is to inform members of Congress and their staff about the importance of general aviation to our economy and transportation system. The General Aviation Caucus is open to all members of the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate regardless of party affiliation and committee assignments.
Congressional Postal Caucus
The caucus allows for a productive exchange of information and insight among members and will make sure that Congress is well-equipped to provide successful, permanent solutions to the Postal Service’s current and future issues.
Conservative Climate Caucus
The Conservative Climate Caucus consists of more than 60 members of Congress and focuses on sharing conservative climate solutions that align with Republican principles and are based on an agenda that will make real progress through American innovation and ultimately enhance American prosperity.
Congressional 5G Caucus
The 5G evolution is expected to create 3 million new jobs and boost annual GDP by $500 billion, driven by a projected $275 billion investment from telecom operators. In addition to economic growth, 5G will bring us faster, almost instantaneous, connections. The 5G caucus has bipartisan membership and was formed to support further advancement of this technology.
Bureau of Prisons Reform Caucus
The Bureau of Prisons Reform Caucus’s mission is to bring greater oversight to federal prisons and address the systemic issues within the BOP system.
American Canadian Economy and Security Caucus

Issues
Source: Government page
Agriculture is the foundation of North Dakota’s economy. It contributes over $10 billion to our economy, as farmers and ranchers across the state work every day to grow the world’s food.
Congress is empowered as the legislative branch of the federal government by Article I of the U.S. Constitution. Congress is composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Congressman Armstrong believes that the best way to boost the economy is to ensure that the federal government stays out of the way.
You can never take away a good education, and a good education is the surest sign of future success for individuals.
North Dakota’s energy economy, along with agriculture, forms the backbone of our state’s economy. According to the U.S.
Healthcare is one of the most important issues in our country right now. Costs keep going up, putting access to quality care out of reach for too many Americans.
The men and women of the U.S. armed forces stand in harm’s way throughout the world to protect our country.

Wikipedia
Kelly Michael Armstrong (born October 8, 1976)[1][2] is an American lawyer and politician who has served since 2024 as the 34th governor of North Dakota. A member of the Republican Party, he served from 2019 to 2024 as the U.S. representative for North Dakota’s at-large congressional district. He also served from 2012 to 2018 as the North Dakota state senator from the 36th district and from 2015 to 2018 as chair of the North Dakota Republican Party. On January 23, 2024, he announced he would not seek reelection to the House and would instead run in the 2024 North Dakota gubernatorial election.[3] Armstrong won the Republican primary on June 11, 2024, and defeated Democratic nominee Merrill Piepkorn in the general election.[4]
Early life and education
Armstrong graduated from Dickinson High School in 1995. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from the University of North Dakota in 2001 and a Juris Doctor from the University of North Dakota School of Law in 2003, after spending his first year of law school at the College of William & Mary.[5] He is a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity.
Career
Before his election to Congress, Armstrong was a partner at Reichert Armstrong, with offices in Grand Forks and Dickinson. He served from 2013 to 2018 as the North Dakota State Senator from the 36th district[6] and chaired the North Dakota Republican Party from 2015 to 2018.[7]
U.S. House of Representatives
Elections
2018
In February 2018, Armstrong announced his candidacy for the United States House of Representatives.[8] He was endorsed by the North Dakota Republican Party at its state party convention in April 2018.[9] Armstrong won the November 6 election with 60.2% of the vote.[10] He resigned his seat in the North Dakota Legislature on November 7 and took office in Congress in January 2019, replacing Kevin Cramer, who was elected to the United States Senate.
2020
Armstrong was reelected with 68.96% of the vote.[11]
2022
Armstrong was reelected with 62.2% of the vote.[12]
Tenure
Armstrong was one of a coalition of seven Republicans who did not support their colleagues’ efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election on January 6, 2021. These seven signed a letter that, while giving credence to election fraud allegations made by President Donald Trump, said Congress did not have the authority to influence the election’s outcome.[13]
On July 19, 2022, Armstrong and 46 other Republican representatives voted for the Respect for Marriage Act, which would codify the right to same-sex marriage in federal law.[14] Armstrong was nearly censured in a 26–28 vote during a state party meeting for his vote.[15]
In September 2022, Armstrong was one of 39 Republicans to vote for the Merger Filing Fee Modernization Act of 2022, an antitrust package that would crack down on corporations for anti-competitive behavior.[16][17]
On June 14, 2023, Armstrong voted to table the first censure bill against Adam Schiff, finding the $16 million fine in the first censure to be an excess of congressional power. Former president Donald Trump called for all 20 Republicans who voted against the bill to be “primaried”. Armstrong supported the second attempt a week later when the text was removed.[18]
Armstrong voted to provide Israel with support following the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.[19][20]
In November 2023, Armstrong voted against censuring Representative Rashida Tlaib on the grounds of antisemitism after her comments against Israel.[21] Later that month, he was picked to fill the vacancy on the House Judiciary Committee left when member Mike Johnson was elected Speaker of the House.[22][23]
In December 2023, Armstrong joined 105 House Republicans in voting to expel George Santos after a House ethics committee concluded that he had broken federal law.[24]
On December 14, 2024, Armstrong submitted his letter of resignation from Congress effective at midnight that night in order to take office as governor of North Dakota the next day. He added: “It’s been an honor. Time to go home.”[25]

Armstrong faced Lieutenant Governor Tammy Miller in the primary for the North Dakota Republican Party endorsement. Armstrong and Miller had an aggressive primary battle, with Armstrong the first to release attack ads.[31] He was later criticized for releasing an ad calling Miller “Tall-Tale Tammy” in which he used Artificial Intelligence-generated sources.[32] Armstrong was endorsed by Secretary of State Michael Howe and U.S. senator John Hoeven.[33] Burgum endorsed Miller, saying North Dakota did not need a lawyer in the office.[34] Armstrong won the primary and chose state representative Michelle Strinden as his running mate.[35]
Armstrong defeated Democratic-NPL candidate Merrill Piepkorn and independent Michael Coachman in the general election[36] with 68.3% of the vote. Piepkorn received 26% and Coachman 5.6%.[37]
In accordance with the North Dakota Constitution, Armstrong took office as governor on December 15, 2024.
