Associated Press  

Follow live: Updates from AP’s coverage of the presidential election. BISMARCK, N.D. — A security guard and Democrat is running for governor in North Dakota, a long-shot bid in the Republican-led state. In an interview, Hipsher said North Dakota needs a new direction “and new people to lead us there.” “We’ve got such a boom-and-bust economy here with the energy and agriculture sector that we really can’t make long-term plans,” Hipsher said. “Governor Burgum has done a good job, but we still need to grow more.” Hipsher, who hasn’t yet found a running mate, faces headwinds in his campaign. Two Republicans and a Democrat have announced campaigns for North Dakota’s single U.S. House seat.
