Race at a glance
North Dakota State House District 30 has a contested race in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. The candidate field consists of two Republican incumbents: Glenn Bosch and Mike Nathe.
Because both candidates have the same party affiliation and both already hold office, the ballot will not present voters with a difference in party label or incumbent status. The central choice concerns which candidates District 30 voters want representing them in the State House after the 2026 election.
The contest is part of North Dakota’s general election, when voters make the final ballot decisions for the offices being elected that year. There is no separate election date listed for this race beyond the statewide general election date.
Glenn Bosch
Glenn Bosch is running as a Republican and is an incumbent in the North Dakota State House. His incumbent designation means he already holds legislative office as he enters the 2026 District 30 contest.
Bosch and Nathe have the same listed party affiliation and the same incumbent status. Bosch’s place in the race therefore does not create a Republican-versus-Democratic matchup, or a contest between an incumbent and a nonincumbent. His name will instead appear as one of two Republican incumbent candidates in the District 30 field.
Mike Nathe
Mike Nathe is running as a Republican and is also an incumbent in the North Dakota State House. Like Bosch, he enters the 2026 District 30 race as a current officeholder seeking another term in the Legislature.
Nathe’s listed status matches Bosch’s in the two basic identifiers attached to the race: party and incumbency. Voters considering Nathe will see a Republican incumbent running alongside another Republican incumbent, rather than candidates separated by party affiliation or prior service status.
What is contested
The District 30 race is designated as contested and has two named candidates. The contest concerns representation for District 30 in the State House, with Bosch and Nathe making up the candidate field.
The shared Republican label is an important feature of the race. Party affiliation alone does not distinguish the two candidates, and neither candidate can be described as a challenger because both are incumbents. That makes the candidates’ names and records as current officeholders especially relevant identifiers for voters reviewing the race.
No candidate from another political party is listed in the District 30 contest. The field, as identified for the general election, is limited to Bosch and Nathe.
Election date and next steps
The District 30 general election will be held Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. That is the date when voters will cast general-election ballots in the race.
Before voting, District 30 residents can confirm the candidates’ names and party labels on the final general-election ballot.
The basic structure of the race is already clear: two candidates, both Republicans, both incumbents and one general-election date. The result will determine District 30’s State House representation following the 2026 election.
