from Open Range · host garyemineth
n this episode of Open Range, guest host Jeff Hoverson fills in for Gary Emineth and sits down with Delvin Boehm, a Republican district chair and convention leader, for a wide-ranging discussion about faith, politics, party structure, and the future of conservatism in North Dakota. The conversation begins on a personal note, with Delvin speaking openly about his Christian faith, the values instilled in him by his parents and grandparents, and the importance of family, hard work, honesty, and integrity as the foundation for both personal life and public service. From there, the discussion turns to the relationship between faith and the growing conservative movement, especially in the aftermath of the pandemic, which both men say motivated more ordinary citizens to get involved in politics. Delvin explains his role in the Republican Party and offers a detailed overview of how the state convention works, including the difference between endorsement and nomination, how delegates are chosen, and why the convention matters as a gathering grounded in the party platform. A major theme of the episode is accountability. Jeff and Delvin express concern that some Republican candidates and officeholders want to benefit from the Republican label without being accountable to Republican principles or the party platform. They discuss efforts to bypass the endorsement process, the tension between convention politics and primary elections, and the need for stronger vetting of candidates and elected officials. Delvin argues that conventions are people-driven, while primaries are often money-driven, and says active party members must stay involved if they want to preserve the party’s values and influence its future. The episode closes with Delvin reflecting on service, stewardship, and future generations. He says he is willing to follow wherever God leads and remains committed to fighting for a stronger future for North Dakota’s children and grandchildren. #OpenRange #JeffHoverson #DelvinBoehm #NorthDakotaPolitics #RepublicanParty #Conservative
