Know Your Candidates Part III: Dwight Grotberg

  •  March 31, 2006

Earlier this week I posted interviews with GOP House candidates Duane DeKrey and Matt Mechtel. Today I’m posting an interview with GOP Senate candidate Dwight Grotberg.
This one was done via email as opposed to the previous two interviews which were done via phone. This was in consideration of Mr. Grotberg’s busy schedule and a sore throat (his, not mine).
Anyway, here’s the interview:

    Is it just me or does Mr. Grotberg just spew out the same rhetoric that every candidate that has run agianst the Democratic delegation in the past 6 years. They are experienced and they do produce results for people of North Dakota. Who cares if KEnt Conrad doesnt have a home in North Dakota, he does have an apartement in Bismarck, becuase he is leading the fight in D.C to bring money back to North Dakota. If Conrad were to be voted out, North Dakota would be up a creek without a paddle.

    I have a plan to increase the support for our state that is backed up by a strong economic plan so that federal support is rarely needed.

    Am I the only one who can’t make any sense out of that?

    Good interviews Rob, by the way. Thanks.

    Try me again live, Rob. I can sound more like a politician if you and your readers would like.

    Regarding Davey’s question, My vision is to take this state to the next level, which goes beyond merely looking to a Senator bringing dollars to the state. For example, my plan will greatly increase the demand for our agricultural products so that price support levels are rarely hit, which means less Farm Bill dollars are paid out for LDP’s and more money would be available for things like crop insurance. Last year, Conrad couldn’t get support for his Disaster Bill. That meant disaster for alot of farmers. He is losing support in Congress by representing us as a crisis state over and over again. Imagine going to your bank for money without a financial plan. The rest of the nation is getting tired of it. We have so much to give to this country and it’s time to put a success plan into action, which is what I will do in Washington D.C.

    Sorry I missed this comment, Mr. Grotberg.  It wasn’t so much that you didn’t sound like a politician, just that the answers seemed a little rush.  Which is understandable given that you were a last minute candidate and the conference was looming.

    Who cares if KEnt Conrad doesnt have a home in North Dakota, he does have an apartement in Bismarck, becuase he is leading the fight in D.C to bring money back to North Dakota. If Conrad were to be voted out, North Dakota would be up a creek without a paddle.

    Lionel, you make Grotberg’s point for him.  As North Dakotans, we shouldn’t want our state to be so dependent on the federal government that losing one of our representatives in Washington results in us being "up a creek."  We should want independence from federal dollars as much as possible.

    Measuring our politicians by how much pork they bring home from Washington is nonsense.

    Thanks Davey.

    I get the feeling that Mr. Grotberg probably answered my questions fairly quickly and didn’t put a lot of thought into them.  Which is disappointing given the great interviews I got with the other two candidates.
