Heather Ranck is being reinstated as the director of the National Rural Export Center in Fargo. In a joint statement, North Dakota Senators John Hoeven and Kevin Cramer said they worked with the Commerce Department on Ranck’s return. Ranck was assigned to a different role within the Commerce Department after filing a whistleblower complaint over the management of the International Trade Administration. Hoeven and Cramer praised Ranck for supporting agriculture and manufacturers in North Dakota and beyond.
