Policy Agenda
ND Road to Opportunity
The ND Road to Opportunity is more than just a list of policies. It is a bold plan for a North Dakota where people are free to build the lives they want, with government limited and opportunity wide open. We champion movements that put people first, dismantling the barriers that stall innovation and ensuring every North Dakotan has the freedom to shape their own future. Throughout 2026, we are paving the path toward a more prosperous future. Our goal is a 2027 and beyond where communities are strengthened by empowered individuals rather than expanding government.
Charter School Expansion
North Dakota recently became the 47th state to authorize public charter schools, a historic step toward providing families with tuition-free, innovative education options. While the legal framework is in place and administrative rules are set to take effect on April 1, 2026, the success of this rollout depends on true accessibility. We will be keeping a close watch on the implementation process to ensure that artificial barriers—such as restrictive enrollment caps or authorizer bottlenecks—do not hinder the growth of these schools. Our goal is to make sure that as the first wave of schools prepares for the 2026-2027 school year, the system remains flexible and responsive to the actual needs of North Dakota parents and students.
