So Steve, tell us a little bit about yourself, District 7, your connection to the industry, and what ultimately convinced you to put your name on the ballot and what you want to do when you get there.

Well, thanks, Jessica.

Well, my name is Steve Sauter, as Jessica stated.

District 7 is North Bismarck, kind of I always say it looks like Oklahoma, but up Hawk Tree area and in, I guess, north of 43rd and, yeah, kind of jaunts around there up to, I think, 72nd.

Yeah, I've been in the industry indirectly for the last 20 years.

I started out in interstate bearing systems and outside sales, calling on a lot of you.

See some people retiring.

Steve, what surprised you most about your very contested race over in District 7?
