The District 11 race
Two Democratic incumbents, Gretchen Dobervich and Adam Goldwyn, are running in the contested general election for North Dakota State House District 11. Voters will make their decision on Nov. 3, 2026.
The field does not present a choice between party labels: Dobervich and Goldwyn are both Democrats. It also does not present a choice between an incumbent and a newcomer, because both candidates are incumbents. An incumbent is a candidate who already holds elected office.
That makes the candidates themselves, rather than their party labels or incumbent status, the central focus of the race. No policy positions are on file for either candidate, so there is not yet a documented issue-by-issue contrast between them. The same is true of campaign finance: totals for money raised, money spent and cash on hand are not on file for either campaign.
Gretchen Dobervich
Gretchen Dobervich is a Democratic incumbent running for State House District 11 in the 2026 general election. No candidate biography is on file.
Dobervich does not have documented policy positions on file for this contest. That means no position can yet be stated for her on taxes, education, public safety, health care or any other state policy matter.
Her campaign also has no totals on file for funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand. Those three figures can help voters understand a campaign’s financial activity, but there is no documented financial comparison to make in this race at this stage.
Adam Goldwyn
Adam Goldwyn is a Democratic incumbent running for State House District 11 in the 2026 general election. No candidate biography is on file.
Goldwyn does not have documented policy positions on file for this contest. That means no position can yet be stated for him on taxes, education, public safety, health care or any other state policy matter.
His campaign also has no totals on file for funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand. As with Dobervich, there is no documented campaign finance record to use for a comparison at this stage of the race.
What is contested
The contest is for State House representation in District 11. Dobervich and Goldwyn share the same party label and the same incumbent status, so neither of those basic ballot descriptions separates them.
The main questions ahead are whether the candidates publish policy positions, provide more information about their backgrounds or report campaign finance activity. Those developments could give voters clearer points of comparison before the Nov. 3 general election.
For now, the confirmed distinctions are limited to the candidates’ identities. Both are Democrats, both are incumbents, and both are seeking election in State House District 11. The campaign remains part of North Dakota’s 2026 general election, when voters will decide the district’s representation.
