Dickinson mayor considering run for secretary of state

Rep. Michael Howe, a Republican from West Fargo, has already thrown his hat into the ring (you can listen to him talk about his candidacy on a recent episode of Plain Talk ), and now another candidate may be on the cusp of announcing.
Scott Decker is the mayor of Dickinson , having been elected to that position in 2016, and before that he was elected to the Dickinson City Commission in 2014. He’s a graduate of Dickinson State University and a 21-year Army veteran.
He tells me he may take a shot at statewide office. “I haven’t made a decision yet,” he said.
