JEFF HOVERSON PUSHES BACK AGAINST BIG GOVERNMENT ON OPEN RANGE

On this episode of Open Range with Gary Emineth, State Representative Jeff Hoverson from District 3 joins the show to discuss his conservative mission in North Dakota. Hoverson has already served two terms in the State House, and he announced live on the program that he plans to run for a third term in November 2026. A pastor and a strong conservative voice, Hoverson believes government in North Dakota has expanded too much, too fast, and at levels that are not sustainable for taxpayers.
Hoverson warns that North Dakota’s spending has exploded, noting that the state spends roughly $100,000 for every family of four, while the average family income in the state is around $60,000. He says this imbalance shows why spending cuts and stronger financial discipline are necessary before North Dakota becomes dependent on unsustainable revenue streams.
He argues that America — including North Dakota — is slowly drifting toward socialism by encouraging citizens to rely more on the government than on strong communities, faith, and personal responsibility. Hoverson says voters must elect fighters who will stand firmly for conservative values and defend the official GOP platform at the legislature. According to him, North Dakota needs lawmakers who will stop runaway spending, protect freedom, and challenge government overreach before it undermines the state’s future.
