North Dakota Governor - Politics During Covid-19 | DuWayne Hendrickson

In today's episode of podcast Walk In Victory, hosted by pastor NaRon Tillman, we are interviewing DuWayne Hendrickson (Libertarian party), a runner for Governor of North Dakota.

Hendrickson is an experienced politician who emphasizes the importance of having good relationships with legislators and the ability to work with them in order to be a successful politician. He also believes that people will choose to vote for Libertarians because they know what he fights for and where he stands politically. His finances are tight, practically non-existent, which is why he is fundraising for the campaign. However, he stays optimistic and states that in his first run for Governor he had under 10 dollars for the campaign and still won many votes.

Regarding the transformation of energy from solar panels to wind energy in relation to climate change, Hendrickson points out that he does not believe in climate change and the feasibility of scientific experiments. North Dakota was one of the first countries that opened up after the Corona outbreak. Their Governor did a good job during the crisis; however, there were 35 000 people who lost their jobs and some even committed suicide. No one is to blame, but in Hendrickson's opinion, the country didn't open soon enough. The speakers are wondering if someone turned a profit on ventilators in New York's hospitals, the city that was hit the most when it comes to COVID-19. Hendrickson keeps stressing the importance of being careful all the time, as it is the best way to stay healthy and protected.

Not so long ago, North Dakota was a very rich and lucrative country, and now it is destitute. Hendrickson's platform revolves around making the country stand back on its feet by eliminating property taxes. If he manages to do so, the money would be spent inside the community instead of being spent on paying the taxes. Also, he wants to increase their revenue, legalize cannabis and finish the Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library. When asked how much money he would need to raise for his campaign, Hendrickson replied around 100,000 dollars at least. He says that common sense is what matters when it comes to the election, not the money machine and he is not worried about achieving his goal.
