A strong oil and gas industry requires sound policy and elected officials who understand and value the role of industry in the state.

The NDPC has a non-partisan, multi-candidate state Political Action Committee (PAC) to support candidates for local and state offices who understand the oil and gas industry and encourage the safe and responsible development of our resources. The PAC strives to educate candidates and elected officials on the important issues and the role of industry in growing our economy, supporting careers, and funding our state’s priorities. The PAC also stresses the need addressing challenges through sound policy and regulations that provide certainty and flexibility for innovation.

The ND Oil PAC contributes to candidates who have a strong record in supporting oil and gas development in the state; advances legislation that encourages energy development; helps maintain a business-friendly environment, or opposes an incumbent or candidate who is hostile to our industry.
