The power ratings for Congress are out, and North Dakota is ranked second in the nation. These rankings that have been established by a nonprofit organization tell an interesting story about the effectiveness and the abilities of our congressional delegation.
Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., ranks 15th in the U.S. Senate. Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., ranks 30th. And in the House, Congressman Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., ranks 60th. In addition to the power rankings, Dorgan is a member of the Democratic leadership as chairman of the Democratic Policy Committee.
All of this means that North Dakota as a small state is incredibly lucky to have some exceptional senators and congressman who have positioned themselves to get a lot done for North Dakota. That's good news for our state.
