According to this story, the Democratic Party has been left without a nominee in one of the legislative districts in Fargo, North Dakota. And the district is strongly Democratic. But the Democratic incumbent died, and the party has no way to replace him. So, an independent candidate who leans Democratic has qualified. Cara Cody-Braun, if she wins, will be the first person elected as an independent to the North Dakota legislature since 1966. However, North Dakota did elect an independent candidate to be Secretary of State in 2018.
