Douglas James Burgum (born August 1, 1956) is an American entrepreneur and politician serving as the 33rd governor of North Dakota since 2016. He is a member of the Republican Party.[1][2]

Burgum was born and raised in the small town of Arthur, North Dakota. He mortgaged his inherited farmland after graduating from college in 1983 to invest in a small technology startup, Great Plains Software. Becoming the company's president in 1984, he grew Great Plains into a successful large software company.[3] Burgum sold the company to Microsoft for $1.1 billion in 2001. While working at Microsoft, he managed Microsoft Business Solutions. He has served as board chairman for Atlassian and SuccessFactors. Burgum is the founder of Kilbourne Group, a Fargo-based real-estate development firm, and also is the co-founder of Arthur Ventures, a software venture capital group.

A lifelong resident of North Dakota, Burgum entered the Republican primary in the 2016 North Dakota gubernatorial election with no political experience. He upset longtime Attorney General and Republican-endorsed candidate Wayne Stenehjem in the primary election, and defeated Democratic nominee Marvin Nelson by a landslide in the general election. He was reelected by a wide margin in 2020.[4] In April 2023, Burgum signed a near-total abortion ban in North Dakota.[5]

As of May 18, 2023, Burgum was reported to be considering a run in the 2024 United States presidential election.[6]

Early life and education

Burgum was born on August 1, 1956, in Arthur, North Dakota, where his grandfather had founded a grain elevator in 1906.[7] He is the son of Katherine (Kilbourne) and Joseph Boyd Burgum.[8] He attended North Dakota State University (NDSU) to earn his undergraduate degree in 1978. During his senior year at NDSU, he applied to the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He also started a chimney-sweeping business. "The newspaper wrote a story about me as a chimney sweep", he later recalled; it "ran a photo of me sitting on top of an icy chimney in below-freezing weather in Fargo. The story made the AP wire service. I was later told it caused quite a stir in the Stanford admissions office: 'Hey, there's a chimney sweep from North Dakota who's applied.'"[9]

He was accepted to study business at Stanford. While there, he befriended Steve Ballmer, who would later be CEO of Microsoft. During his last year at Stanford, Burgum "spent the whole final quarter on a project team with Ballmer."[9] He received his MBA from Stanford University Graduate School of Business in 1980. He later received honorary doctorates from North Dakota State[10] in 2000 and from the University of Mary in 2006.[11]

Executive career

Early career

Following his graduation from Stanford GSB, Burgum moved to Chicago to become a consultant with McKinsey & Company. Soon afterward he mortgaged $250,000 of farmland to provide the seed capital for accounting software company Great Plains Software in Fargo, North Dakota.[7] He joined the company in 1983 and became its president in 1984 after leading a small investment group composed of family members in buying out the rest of the company.

Great Plains Software

During the 1980s, Fortune magazine often ranked Great Plains among the top 100 companies to work for in the United States. Burgum grew the company to about 250 employees by 1989 and led the company to about $300 million in annual sales and a 1997 IPO, after using the Internet to help it expand beyond North Dakota.[12] In 2001 he sold Great Plains Software to Microsoft for $1.1 billion.[13] Burgum has said he built the company in Fargo because of its proximity to North Dakota State University, in order to employ its stream of engineering students.[14]

Microsoft

After the sale, Burgum was named Senior Vice President of Microsoft Business Solutions Group,[11][15] the offshoot created from merging Great Plains into the corporation.[10] He stayed with Microsoft until 2007 and was responsible for making enterprise apps a priority for Microsoft during this tenure.[16] Satya Nadella, current CEO of Microsoft, has credited Burgum with "inspiring him to find the soul of Microsoft".[17]

Board work

Burgum has served on the advisory board for Stanford Graduate School of Business[11] and was on the board of SuccessFactors during the 2000s, becoming its chairman from 2007 till the 2011 sale of the company to SAP. In 2012 he became the first chairman of the board for Atlassian, after it expanded from its initial board of three members (none of whom served as the official chair).[18] During 2011 and 2014, he twice spent several months as the interim CEO of Intelligent InSites,[11] a company for which he has served as the executive chairman of the board since 2008.[19] That year he also became a member of Avalara's board of directors.[20]

Investment firms

Burgum is the founder of the Kilbourne Group, a real-estate development firm focused on Downtown Fargo.[21][22] In 2013 he created plans to build the tallest building in Fargo—a 23-story mixed-use building—to be named either Block 9 or Dakota Place.[23] The company has also advocated for a convention center to be built in Downtown Fargo.[24] It has acquired and renovated many Fargo properties, including the former St. Mark's Lutheran Church and the former Woodrow Wilson alternative high school.[25] Burgum co-founded Arthur Ventures, a venture capital company.[19] Several of the companies he has invested in are in Fargo.[13][26]

Philanthropy

Burgum supports philanthropic causes like the Plains Art Museum.[27] In 2001[28] he donated a refurbished school building he had acquired in 2000 to North Dakota State University. It was named Renaissance Hall and became home to the university's visual arts department, major components of the architecture and landscape architecture department and the Tri-College University office.[29] In 2008 Burgum started the Doug Burgum Family Fund, which focuses its charitable giving on youth, education and health.[11]

Governor of North Dakota

Elections

2016

Main article: 2016 North Dakota gubernatorial election

In 2016, Burgum announced his intent to run for governor of North Dakota as a Republican. With no formal political experience, Burgum lost the state Republican party's gubernatorial endorsement contest to longtime Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem at the party convention in April. Nevertheless, he defeated Stenehjem handily in the primary election two months later to claim the nomination. Burgum faced Democrat Marvin Nelson and Libertarian Marty Riske in the November general election and won with over 75% of the vote.[4]

2020

Main article: 2020 North Dakota gubernatorial election

Burgum ran for reelection in 2020. He was reelected with over 65% of the vote against veterinarian Shelley Lenz.[30][31]

Tenure

Burgum was sworn in as the 33rd governor of North Dakota on December 15, 2016, alongside running mate Brent Sanford, the 38th lieutenant governor of North Dakota.[32][33]

Uniquely among Republicans, Burgum has set a goal for North Dakota to become carbon-neutral by 2030. He plans to pursue this goal while maintaining a robust fossil fuel industry, through the use of carbon capture and storage technology to capture and sequester carbon dioxide in the state's geologic formations. He supports the use of carbon dioxide for enhanced oil recovery, the process by which carbon dioxide is injected into depleted oil fields to boost production. He also supports agricultural practices that store carbon in soil.[34] The announcement of the goal sparked $25 billion in private sector investment, according to remarks he made at the annual meeting of the North Dakota petroleum council.[35]

In 2018, Burgum and the North Dakota Department of Transportation established the Vision Zero project. Since then, traffic deaths in North Dakota have reached record lows.[36] On March 20, 2023, Burgum vetoed a bill to raise the state interstate speed limit to 80 mph.[37]

On December 20, 2022, Sanford announced his resignation as lieutenant governor, effective January 3, 2023. Burgum chose Tammy Miller, his chief operating officer, to succeed Sanford.[38]

Burgum and other North Dakota officials have threatened to sue Minnesota over a law that would require the state's electricity to come from sources that do not emit carbon dioxide.[39] Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed the bill on February 7, 2023.[40]

Political positions

Burgum does not comment much on his political opinions, preferring to focus on the economy and energy. He has made comments about President Joe Biden and his performance as president of the United States on Facebook and in public messages.[41]

Burgum endorsed former president Donald Trump in both 2016 and 2020. Trump also endorsed Burgum during each of his gubernatorial elections.[42]

Energy

Burgum has been very vocal on his support for the fossil fuel industry, especially in the Bakken region of western North Dakota.[43] But he also signed a bill to create clean energy sustainable for the state on April 26, 2021.[44] Burgum supports the Dakota Access Pipeline.[45]

Abortion

In April 2023, Burgum signed a near-total ban on abortion in North Dakota.[5]

LGBT rights

In July 2020, Burgum called the 2020 Republican platform "divisive and divisional" on LGBT issues. During the 2023 session of the North Dakota Legislative Assembly, Burgum signed numerous anti-trans laws, including a near-total ban on gender-affirming care to minors and allowing educators to ignore the pronouns of transgender students.[46][47][48][49]

Critical race theory

On November 12, 2021, Burgum signed a law banning the teaching of critical race theory in North Dakota K-12 schools.[50]

Taxes

Burgum has signed numerous laws to cut taxes. During the 2023 legislative session, he signed a bill that exempts members of the North Dakota National Guard and reserve from paying income tax,[51] and another that provides over $500 million in tax relief.[52]

Personal life

Burgum married his first wife, Karen Stoker, in 1991. They have three children and divorced in 2003.[citation needed] In 2016, Burgum married Kathryn Helgaas.[53] As first lady of North Dakota, Kathryn Burgum champions the Recovery Reinvented program on addiction and recovery.[54]
