(Grand Forks, ND) -- A North Dakota Republican is facing additional scrutiny for his travel expenses.
The Forum originally reported that State Senator Ray Holmberg has amassed over 125-thousand dollars in travel expenses between 2013 and April 2022, more than any other state lawmaker. Holmberg took about 70 out-of-state trips, including meetings in Canada, Puerto Rico, Europe, and across the country. North Dakota legislators spent a total of two-point-one million dollars on travel, which averages to 92-hundred each for the just under 230 lawmakers.
Holmberg recently came under fire for reported text messages he is said to have exchanged in August with a Grand Forks man facing federal prosecution on child pornography charges.
