BisMan Dem-NPL Meet & Greet Reception and Social

The Bismarck-Mandan Democratic-NPL (region 6) is hosting a social hour. Kick off the 2026 campaign season with an evening of community and conversation! Meet our 15 legislative candidates, Congressional candidate Trygve Hammer, and other statewide candidates in attendance (invited).

Guests will have the opportunity to walk through our candidate receiving line, hear fast-paced 2-minute “stump speeches” from our legislative team, and enjoy remarks from our Congressional candidate. We’ll have a FUNdraising game and delicious hors d’oeuvres served throughout the evening.
