The North Dakota Senate on Feb. 18 advised and consented to the nomination of Donald Campbell to the State Board of Higher Education, the chamber’s secretary announced after a roll-call vote that recorded 46 ayes, 0 nays and one absent not voting.
Senator Paulson, chair of the confirmation committee, reported the committee’s recommendation and Senator Cleary spoke in support, highlighting Campbell’s workforce-development and human-resources experience and his service on multiple state advisory boards. Cleary noted Campbell’s HR background will be valuable as the board hires several senior executives.
The Senate then voted on the nomination by roll call. The secretary of the Senate recorded a final tally of 46 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent not voting; the chamber ‘‘advises and consents’’ to Campbell’s appointment.
