BISMARCK, N.D. — North Dakota Gov. John Hoeven began his run for the U.S. Senate on Monday with appeals for lower taxes, less debt and federal tax incentives to prod business growth and energy production.
Speaking to a boisterous crowd at a meeting of local district Republican organizations, Hoeven, 52, declared he will seek the seat now held by Democrat Byron Dorgan, who is not running for a fourth term.
Recent polls showed Hoeven leading Dorgan in a hypothetical U.S. Senate race.
