Summary
Governor Kelly Armstrong delivered a sobering address to the legislature, calling for urgent, bipartisan action on the rising kratom crisis and slamming political posturing in favor of real solutions. With over 800 kratom-related cases in North Dakota since 2023 and a deadly opioid epidemic fueled by fentanyl, she warned that lives are at stake—not partisan points. Armstrong pushed lawmakers to prioritize public safety, hold officials accountable for misuse of funds, and unite across party lines to tackle this statewide emergency before it claims more lives.
