Former software company CEO and two-term North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum releases a campaign style video ahead of his expected GOP presidential nomination campaign launch on Wednesday
And Fox News has learned that Burgum will visit Iowa on Thursday and Friday , with stops in New Hampshire Saturday and Sunday . The two states for half a century have led off the GOP presidential nominating calendar.
Burgum points out that the"states created the federal government, not the other way around. Let's shrink the federal government and return power to the states."The video, full of pictures of North Dakota's stunning landscape, spotlights Burgum's small town upbringing. And he highlights that"I started a shoe-shine business, worked at the grain elevator, and as a chimney sweep, paid my way through college and then earned an MBA at Stanford."Burgum steered his one-time small business, Great Plains Software, into a $1 billion software company. His business — and its North Dakota-based workers — were eventually acquired by Microsoft, and Burgum stayed on board as a senior vice president.
In 2016, the then first-time candidate and long shot convincingly topped a favored GOP establishment contender to secure the Republican nomination in North Dakota before going on to a landslide victory in the gubernatorial general election in the solidly red state. Burgum was overwhelmingly re-elected in 2020 to a second term as governor.
