Hello, my name is Dawson Holle and I am running for State House in District 31 in the great state of North Dakota. I am a 5th generation dairy farmer and the 2016 Presidential election ignited a spark inside of wanting to be involved in politics, but I got inspired to run for the state legislature at a local District Convention watching the democratic process unfold and listening to our current politicians including Becker and Hoeven. It takes everyone to make a change and politics isn’t only for your career politicians, but for every citizen. I am a member of North Dakota Young Republicans, I have been in Student Council, Student Congress, Future Business Leaders of America, Church Council and ND American Legion Boy’s State. This spring and summer I am committed to bringing consistency and transparency in my legislation by telling you all exactly where I stand on topics and will update social media channels after every vote to explain my platform. I encourage an open dialogue on all topics and will listen to you each with respect and honesty. You are who the representatives serve, and I believe it is important to maintain that level of integrity and stand-up for our district and community by maintaining that firm foundation that our country was founded on by preserving firm values and principles:

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Protecting Veterans Affairs: Our veterans signed up to possibly pay the ultimate price to serve this great country. They deserve our utmost respect and gratitude. I come from a long line of veterans and four uncles that have and are serving. They deserve our support and patriotism when serving, after they have served, and their families and all veterans programs that need supportive and supplemental programs with more support from the government.Tax Reform- North Dakota as a state has done an extremely successful job financially with millions in reserves. That frugality should be passed on to the citizens of ND and elevate some of the current financial stress by reducing taxes such as sales, property, and land taxes. This would benefit thousands of families all across the state, especially with the current economic inflation and unsettling international conflicts that will greatly impact all North Dakotans. Our district has the lowest median family and household income in North Dakota, and I will fight that your money stays in your households.Agriculture- I will fight to maintain our current programs that benefit farmers and ranchers such as the Milk Marketing Board, Livestock Alliance, and Commodity Councils and continue to communicate with them on their needs and issues. Increasing our exports for our many commodities helps our economy to thrive on these industries and we must maintain the ability for ND to do what we do best, without restriction, laws, and regulations that make our nation out-source our energy and I will fight for not only our district, but our state to be a huge force to supply our nation with the best energy and farm goods that our state produces.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Protecting North Dakota Families- Family is the backbone of every community and we need to fight to keep the integrity of the family and the rights of parents to raise their children how they choose. That includes the right to choose health freedoms when it comes to making our own healthcare decisions. The State must stand by that principle even when the Federal mandates contradict and can harm ND citizens. I will fight to ban mask mandates and vaccination mandates and any and all drastic measure that will shut down our economy, schools, jobs, and families again. Our own healthcare decisions are for our family’s and ourselves to decide and not the federal government who has partnered up with big pharmaceutics companies to take away our basic freedoms. The sanctity of marriage must be upheld, along with respect and dignity to the unborn at all stages of life must be protected to the fullest extent. The right to choose school-public, private, or homeschooled-must be protected to each child in our great state. This country was founded on religious freedom and many other foundations such as the Right to Bear Arms, Freedom of Speech, Equal Rights, and I will fight to uphold those current values in ND and maintain each one of them independently and fully.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I am a fifth-generation dairy farmer centrally located in the great state of North Dakota. I love being a dairy farmer's son. So the experience as a child having your first job with your grandpa and dad, and helping them with tasks around the farm is almost indescribable. It feels awe-inspiring as a young kid to see my family's and previous generations work tirelessly in an unyielding, determined industry that sometimes feels like its stacked against you; as the saying goes, right when the rooster crows at the break of dawn. Dairy Farming, even farming in general, in my opinion is the hardest job in the world. You wake-up before dawn each day to bring the cows into the parlor to milk. You work a 5 hour milking shift, three times each day, 365 days a year; rain, shine, wind, blizzard, in all the elements that mother nature can bestow on you. You are there when the corn is ready to harvest, a cow is ready to give birth, when an employee needs help, or a baby calf is struggling to take it's first steps. There are times you miss life's moments like weddings, funerals, celebrations, and for what; to milk cows? There's a quote that goes, "The only way to do great work, is to love what you do," Steve Jobs (2011). The identity of a dairy farmer is rooted in blood, sweat, and tears that residually over time create a masterpiece of art that is known as the family farm. I can look around my farm and see moments where I remember in my childhood of pouring that slab of concrete and getting to write my name in it, or the day dad drove the new tractor into the yard, or pounding that fencepost into the ground for the pasture. Presently, for farmers it seems the stability of the future face uncertain challenges with soil erosion, droughts, foreign tariffs, and financial instability. That is why I am willing to fight for Agricultural Commodities so my first job, becomes more than a job but a lifestyle.
