“Karla, Austin and I are grateful for the support of our neighbors, and we look forward to working on their behalf in Bismarck,” Boschee said in the release. “While Republicans are focused on culture wars like banning books and health care, we will advocate for real solutions on the issues that North Dakotans care regarding — like childcare, housing, public education and more.”

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release regarding a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
