About
Charles Tuttle, a resident of Minot, North Dakota who describes himself as an activist citizen, will challenge Dem-NPL candidate Mac Schneider and Republican Kelly Armstrong for a chair in the house of representatives. Tuttle submitted more than 1,300 signatures to the secretary of state's office to get on the ballot.
Tuttle is listed as an independent and is a President Trump supporter who carries around a copy of the Republican platform.
He has collected thousands of signatures to place multiple measures on ballots in several states over the years. Gathering more than 1000 signatures to earn a ballot spot was a familiar project for the Minot, ND resident.
He considers himself to be one of the most politically experienced people on the ballot, given his long-time interest and involvement in the political process, even though this is his first run for office.
Ideology and Proposals
Ideology and Proposals
- “I want to make a difference, to create a sounding board so people know what is really going on.”
- Tuttle is campaigning on securing the country’s borders and getting rid of Common Core to return curriculum decisions to local school boards. He also lends support to the Trump agenda, including building a southern wall and giving tariffs time to work to bring jobs back to America.
- “I am endorsing Trump. I do not need him to endorse me.”
- Proponent of having a Sioux nickname for the University of North Dakota and of passing a shared parenting law – both issues on which voters have differed with him at the ballot box.
- He is one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the state over the ceding of mineral rights under Lake Sakakawea to private landowners.
- “It’s so pathetic that the Republican Party is not governing,” he said. “Republicans are scared of their own shadow. I am going to take positions. They may not like them, but I am going to take them. … Bipartisanship has gotten us to where the world has been stealing our wealth through tariffs. Bipartisanship has given us open borders. Bipartisanship has taken trillions of dollars of debt and dug a deeper hole.”
- Much of what he would like to change is at the state level, such as increasing local control of education, reducing spending and ensuring oil companies protect the land.
- “In order to make decisions at the national level, you need to be aware of issues on the local level.”
