I wrote yesterday that you could expect NDGOP Chairman and state Senator Kelly Armstrong to join the race for the U.S. House this week.
He hasn’t made an official announcement yet – though he is scheduled to be on my radio show on Thursday at 1:30pm – but he has filed to organize a House campaign with the FEC which you can see below.
I’m not sure that a federal campaign gets more official than this.
The filing lists a campaign website, but as of right now it’s currently password protected.
Armstrong joins state Senator Tom Campbell, Tiffany Abentroth, Paul Schaffner, and DuWayne Hendrickson in the House race.
UPDATE: Armstrong has now resigned as Chairman of the NDGOP:
