Roers father-daughter legislative duo not seeking re-election

FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) — Republican father-daughter legislators Shannon Roers Jones and Jim Roers of Fargo announce that they are not running for re-election.

Jim Roers was appointed to the state senate in 2012 and then won election to the seat in 2016.

Shannon Roers Jones was also elected in 2016 for a seat in the state house.

Both won re-election in 2020.

Shannon Roers Jones ran for mayor of Fargo in 2022 and came in third.
