Six incumbent North Dakota legislators lost in Republican primary races Tuesday, including Rep. Jeff Hoverson and Rep. Bill Tveit, two lawmakers who championed culture war issues in recent sessions.

Other defeated Republican lawmakers include Rep. Eric Murphy, Sen. Kent Weston, Rep. Donna Henderson and Rep. Dustin McNally in complete but unofficial results.

Hoverson’s resume includes in 2025 being the chief sponsor of House Bill 1145 to require the display of the Ten Commandments in schools. Tveit was the lead sponsor and Hoverson a co-sponsor of a resolution in 2025 that urged the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn same-sex marriage. Both pieces of legislation failed.
