Grand Forks Rep. Emily O’Brien resigns her legislative spot to take job with state Health and Human Services
Emily O’Brien is stepping away from the North Dakota Legislature after eight years to take on a new role as deputy commissioner of the state Department of Health and Human Services. The Grand Forks lawmaker, first elected in 2016, said her work on the Appropriations Committee fueled her interest in the agency’s operations. Colleagues praised her as a diligent voice on the state’s largest budget. O’Brien’s move leaves District 42 with a vacancy, while she prepares to shift her focus to strengthening HHS programs statewide.
