Initial speculation for a Republican challenger included Governor of North DakotaJohn Hoeven and Attorney GeneralWayne Stenehjem, who were enjoying very high approval ratings throughout their terms of office. State Representative Kim Koppelman and State House Majority Leader Rick Berg ruled themselves out of the running on February 20, 2008,[1][2] Another possible challenger was Brian Kalk, who decided to run for Public Service Commissioner and was successful in the November election.
As of 2025, this is the last time that the Democratic-NPL won North Dakota's House seat.
