Port: Former Democratic-NPL candidate for U.S. House is accused of child neglect
MINOT, N.D. — State authorities have accused Zach Raknerud and his wife, Heather Raknerud, of child neglect, though the couple is appealing the matter.
Zach Raknerud was the North Dakota Democratic-NPL candidate for U.S. House in 2020, taking on Republican incumbent Kelly Armstrong. His wife, Heather, was a teacher for the Minot Public School District.
The allegations came to light in public documents related to the termination of Heather Raknerud’s teaching contract with Minot Public Schools, which I obtained through an open records request.
