Gary Emineth is a long-time activist in North Dakota politics, and at one point was the chairman of the North Dakota Republican Party.
He was an outspoken supporter of Governor Doug Burgum's 2016 campaign, but he sees problems in Burgum's decision to spend big money defeating other Republicans in primary races.
The Governor is "using his wealth as the chief executive to go after the Legislature," Emineth told me, though Burgum has also intervened in a primary competition for the Treasurer's office as well.
Emineth has filed the paperwork to form his own political action committee to try and counteract Burgum's efforts.
