Julie Fedorchak defeated four candidates in the Republican primary for North Dakota's At-large Congressional District. Alex Balazs, Rick Becker, Fedorchak, and Cara Mund received the most media attention and endorsements. Incumbent Kelly Armstrong (R) ran for governor of North Dakota. The primary was June 11, 2024.

According to the Grand Forks Herald, the five candidate field made this the most competitive Republican primary since 1972.

The primary followed the Republican Party endorsing convention held on April 6, 2024. Becker was ineligible to seek the party endorsement because he ran against U.S. Sen. John Hoeven (R) in 2022 as an independent. In the first round of voting, Becker's supporters wrote his name on more than 380 ballots, spoiling the ballots and preventing anyone from securing the majority needed to win the party endorsement. Fedorchak led Balazs in the first round of voting 44%-29%. Following the second round, Balazs led Fedorchak 49.7%-49.2%, with only 13 spoiled ballots, but neither had a majority. Fedorchak withdrew and Balazs won the party endorsement.

Republican politicians endorsed candidates other than Balazs. Governor Doug Burgum (R) and Hoeven endorsed Fedorchak. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (R) endorsed Becker.

Balazs was an Air Force, Army, and Navy veteran and a former senior foreign service officer for the U.S. Department of State. He said, "I'm extremely frustrated about bad actors, extremist groups, and drug cartels invading our country on the southern border. ... It's time for me to roll up my sleeves once again and protect our constitutional republic by advancing our conservative principles in Congress and stop the crisis at the border now."

Becker was a plastic surgeon and also represented North Dakota House of Representatives District 7 from 2012 to 2022. He founded North Dakota's Freedom Caucus, also known as the Bastiat Caucus, which advocates for limited government. Becker said he adhered to a platform of "limited government, personal responsibility, limited taxation, protecting life, and preserving liberty."

Fedorchak had been a member of the North Dakota Public Service Commission since 2013 and was president of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners. She said her "appreciation for the major role that energy plays in our economy, safety of our communities and in our national security was a big driver for me getting into this race," and that she hopes to use her expertise in Washington to help maintain and secure the national grid and railroads.

Mund was an attorney and Miss America 2018. She said she was the only moderate Republican in the race. Mund said, "I’m challenging 4 Republican candidates that want to put women’s healthcare in the hands of the government; the same 4 candidates who care more about pleasing and promoting Trump than protecting democracy. If you believe in law and order and women’s rights, I’m your candidate."

Sharlet Mohr also ran in the primary.

As of the election, North Dakota was one of six states with an at-large House district, the other five being: Alaska, Delaware, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming.

Balazs said he would close the southern border to address illegal immigration because "fewer people would be inclined to make the trip to the U.S. and decrease the number of migrants entering the country illegally. Additionally, by helping Central and South American countries fix their own problems, fewer migrants would want to leave those countries, decreasing the flow to the U.S."

---

Balazs stressed the importance of a balanced budget. He said this could be achieved via two methods: voting on individual items instead of omnibus spending packages and reducing foreign aid by offering it as a loan or a trade package with conditions attached.

Balazs said in a video shown at the North Dakota Republican Party's endorsing convention that he would protect gun rights and decrease inflation.

Race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in North Dakota in 2024. Information below was calculated on April 19, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Seven candidates ran for North Dakota’s one U.S. House district in 2024, including two Democrats and five Republicans. That’s more than in the previous three election cycles. Two candidates ran in 2022, three candidates ran in 2020, and five ran in 2018.

The number of candidates that ran for the U.S. House in North Dakota in 2024 is also higher than any other year this decade.

North Dakota's At-Large Congressional District was open in 2024 for the second time this decade. Incumbent Kelly Armstrong (R) did not run for re-election in order to run for Governor of North Dakota. He was first elected in 2018 after Kevin Cramer (R) retired to run for the U.S. Senate.

The Democratic and Republican primaries were both contested in 2024. One primary was contested in 2020 and 2018, respectively. No primaries were contested in 2022, 2016, and 2014.

Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries, meaning the seat was not guaranteed to either party.
