Written Oct 6th 2020 - Sam. Dave Andahl. Special to The Forum MINOT, N.D. - North Dakota's political landscape is a bit darker this mommg. Dave Andahl, a long-time public servant in Burleigh County and legislative candidate this election cycle, is no longer with us. I can't say I knew Andahl well. Just a few email exchanges over the years about things I'd written, and some conversations this year about his candidacy, but I've been doing this long enough to know when I'm talking to someone who is in politics for the right reasons. Andahl didn't sign up for the intrigues of campaigning; he intended to serve and serve well.
