Port: Jamie Selzler goes from citizen to Senate minority leader in 100 days

MINOT — It took Jamie Selzler just 100 days to go from being appointed to the North Dakota Senate to leading the Democratic-NPL minority in that chamber. Selzler, a Fargo Democrat, was elected Senate minority leader Thursday evening, Nov. 12. He ran unopposed, as did all five other candidates for Democratic leadership positions in the House and Senate. It's a remarkably quick rise for someone who has yet to serve in a regular legislative session. Selzler was chosen for the Senate on Aug. 4, replacing Josh Boschee, who resigned after being elected Fargo mayor. The timing was noteworthy. Selzler was selected just after an Aug. 1 deadline that would have required an election for the remainder of Boschee's term. Because the vacancy occurred after that cutoff, Selzler wasn't required to appear on the Nov. 3 ballot. Boschee began his mayoral term July 1 but didn't resign his Senate seat until Aug. 4 — 34 days later.
