Legislative Program
Carma Hanson – Department Chairman
I had the honor of stepping into a role with the North Dakota American Legion Auxiliary at the request of Department President Candace Berg. While I have been a lifelong member of the organization and have been involved to some extent due to my parents (Curt and Judy Twete) commitment to the Auxiliary and Legion, I had not yet served in an official capacity. My passion and experience for legislative activity within my work profession aligned well with this position. While North Dakota’s legislature only meets every other year in odd numbered years, there is always work to be done in the legislative space. I was eager to step up to the plate and serve this organization as Legislative Chairman.
In my capacity as chairman, I traveled to Washington, D.C., and had the opportunity to visit with North Dakota’s lone Congresswoman, Julie Fedorchak. We discussed issues important to veterans and military personnel from our state and around our great country.
I was honored to be able to share legislative topics with Department and District leaders in an online presentation as well as provide a training session at the 2026 Flickertail Girls State event this summer.
Thank you, President Berg, for the opportunity to serve the Department of North Dakota.
