Due to population growth, western North Dakota will gain legislative seats through redistricting. “Especially around Williston and Dickinson in the oil patch area and the central part of North Dakota, districts may remain the same,” said State Representative Jared Hagert. “Going into eastern North Dakota, for the areas other than Grand Forks, Wahpeton and Fargo that had some growth, we’ll see districts get larger, because we don’t have the population density we did a decade ago.” Hagert represents District 20. “The newly proposed District 20 would include Traill County, rural Grand Forks County and southeastern Walsh County. That’s a little more ground to cover.” Check out the proposed map.
