This gathering is especially significant as it highlights the educational and supportive role of the organization in these matters.
The convention features a lineup of distinguished speakers from across the country, bringing a wealth of expertise to the discussion. Guests include Kady Valis and Mark Miller, attorneys at the Pacific Legal Foundation, with Miller also having served as the Chief of Staff for South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem. Derrick Braaten, General Counsel for the Northwest Landowners Association and attorney at Braaten Law Firm, adds his insights, alongside Tara Righetti, a Law Professor at the University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources. Paul Henry from Denlow & Henry and Karen Budd-Falen of Budd-Falen Law Offices, who previously served as Deputy Solicitor for Wildlife and Parks under the Trump Administration, contribute their perspectives. Adding to the mix are Trent Loos, a well-known speaker, radio host, and BEK News personality, and Troy Coons, the Chairman of the Northwest Landowners Association.
A key moment in the show is Troy Coons’ advice on how to effectively approach and communicate with legislators, emphasizing that legislators are in their positions to listen to the people they represent.
The episode also welcomes Dustin Gawrylow from the North Dakota Watchdog Network, who discusses current state issues, with a focus on government transparency. A major topic is the controversial Summit Carbon Pipeline and the involvement of Harold Hamm, a notable North Dakota figure, who potentially stands to profit significantly from this project.
