David Hogue (Republican Party) is a member of the North Dakota State Senate, representing District 38. He assumed office on December 1, 2008. His current term ends on December 1, 2028.
Hogue (Republican Party) ran for re-election to the North Dakota State Senate to represent District 38. He won in the general election on November 5, 2024.
Hogue became North Dakota State Senate majority leader on January 3, 2023.[1]
Hogue was born and raised in North Dakota.[2] He received a bachelor’s degree from Cornell College in 1984.[2] After completing his undergraduate education, Hogue served in the North Dakota National Guard until he retired in 2005.[2] In 1987, Hogue received a J.D. from the University of North Dakota and began working as a law clerk for then-North Dakota Supreme Court Chief Justice Ralph J. Erickstad.[2] Hogue's professional experience included working as a lawyer at the Pringle & Herigstad, P.C. Law Firm, representing plaintiffs and defendants in personal injury cases.[2]
Hogue was first elected to represent state Senate District 38 in 2008 by a margin of 27 percentage points. Hogue said he decided to run for public office because of his interest in policy discussions.[3] During his first term in office, Hogue drafted a ballot measure that established a North Dakota legacy fund, provided for deposit of certain oil and gas tax revenues in the fund, and imposed limitations on use of monies in the fund. North Dakota voters approved the measure 63.6% to 36.4%. Hogue said the ballot measure is the piece of legislation he is most proud of his work on.[3]
From 2013 to 2023, Hogue served as the state Senate majority caucus leader before assuming office as the state Senate majority leader in 2023. Hogue said that as majority leader, he would “continue to advocate for and pass laws to lower taxes, respect and protect the life of the unborn, and prudent management of our state’s resources, including our constitutional funds.”[4]
As majority leader, Hogue’s responsibilities include assigning lawmakers and chairs to serve on committees, overseeing the calendar of what comes to the floor, and interfacing with the governor and state House on issues.[3] Additionally, Hogue said his favorite responsibility is “mentoring new senators who are not acquainted with the process and are not familiar with statutory laws, budgets, things of that nature.”[3]
Biography
Hogue earned his B.A. from Cornell College and his J.D. from the University of North Dakota. He also attended the United States Army War College. His professional experience includes working as a practicing attorney. Hogue served in the United States Army.[5]

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

NDPC: North Dakota Legislative Review
The North Dakota Policy Council, a North Dakota-based nonprofit research organization which describes itself as "liberty-based", published the North Dakota Legislative Review, a comprehensive report on how state legislators voted during the 2011 legislative session. The scorecard seeks to show how North Dakota legislators voted on the principles the Council seeks to promote. The Council recorded and scored votes on both spending bills and policy bills, and awarded points accordingly. Policy issues voted upon included income tax cuts, pension reform, and government transparency. On spending legislation, the Council accorded a percentage score based on how much spending the legislator voted against. On policy legislation, scores range from the highest score (100%) to the lowest (0%). A higher score indicates that the legislator voted more in favor of the values supported by the Council.[15] Hogue received a score of 100% on policy legislation and voted against 4.93% of state spending. On policy, Hogue was ranked 4th and on spending was ranked 16th, out of 46 Senate members evaluated for the study.[16]
