Kevin Cramer

Kevin Cramer announced his intention to run for United States Senator from North Dakota in February 2018. In his announcement, he thanked all North Dakotan’s saying, “The people of our state have given me a great privilege by allowing me to serve God by serving them.” He was encouraged by President Trump’s support, he said, but was inspired by the support of North Dakotans. “I am always happy to take the president’s call, but I am honored to answer the people’s call.”

Cramer was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives on Nov. 6, 2012. He serves on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, which has the broadest jurisdiction of any committee in Congress. Rep. Cramer is assigned to three subcommittees: Communications and Technology, Energy, and Environment. In November 2016, Cramer was elevated to the influential House Republican Steering Committee as the Small State Representative. The Steering Committee determines all committee assignments and chairmanships.
