Heidi could have waited to see the “whip count” before she decided, But despite being in a tight race in double digits +R NoDak she put principles first and announced she’ll vote against putting an accused rapist on our highest court. For that she deserves even the state’s many republican’s votes.
Heidi’s vote is also a win for North Dakota’s large Native American population, for whom the disappearance and murders of dozens of native girls and women is a major issue. Heidi took some heat from young native citizens for her support of big oil during the pipeline protests. Other than that gaff, this is the latest example of Heidi’s strong support of native peoples and sovereignty, and she deserves every native vote in North Dakota for that… And a strong native vote will probably be Heidi’s margin of victory.
