Dr. Shelley Lenz, veterinarian and owner of two veterinary practices in North Dakota, wants to give a voice to the people.  That’s why she’s announced her candidacy to run as an independent for the governorship of her state.

In addition to working her mixed animal practices, she is also the founder and president of Sustainable Vets International, a nonprofit founded in 2014 that works to provide sustainable economic development in underserved regions, including Nicaragua, Uganda, Pakistan, Honduras, Guatemala, Peru, Mexico and El Salvador. The organization focuses on veterinary care, agriculture and skill development, such as vocational training.

Dr. Lenz is a strong advocate for animal agriculture and its importance in food security and soil regeneration, which helps balance our energy production and environment. She's running because western North Dakota communities are being overlooked. She will provide the independent and balanced voice North Dakotans expect out of their leaders.

“Our state is rich with many resources. It is time to elect a Governor who will find solutions to fill the 30,000 open jobs in the state and fight for an economy that works for all North Dakotans,” Lenz said. “I’m bringing a strong voice directly from Western North Dakota; a strong voice for our businesses, our workers, our families, our communities, which seem to have been overlooked as North Dakota develops.”
