Senator Kevin Cramer, a Republican representing North Dakota, addressed several issues and events in a series of tweets posted on July 15, 2025. His statements ranged from concerns about federal funding delays for airports to condolences for a state official's family and recognition of recent law enforcement actions.

In a tweet posted at 13:26 UTC, Senator Cramer highlighted challenges faced by small airports regarding the timing of federal entitlement funds. He stated, "Despite their guaranteed nature, AIP and AIG entitlement funds are often not available to airports until late June or July. For small airports with limited resources and in states with truncated construction seasons due to severe weather, this delay poses significant challenges."

At 14:07 UTC, Senator Cramer offered condolences to North Dakota’s Lieutenant Governor Strinden and her family following the loss of Tom Strinden. He wrote, "Our family extends its condolences to Lt. Gov. Strinden and her family as they grieve the loss of Tom. We have them in our prayers and know that Christ has them in His heart during such a difficult time."

Later that day at 14:53 UTC, Senator Cramer commented on recent immigration enforcement activities involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He stated, "Promises made. Promises kept. 6 convicted pedophiles—illegal aliens—taken off our streets this weekend by @ICEgov. Thanks to @POTUS, @SecNoem & @RealTomHoman for letting our agents do their job! Even with assaults on ICE up 700%, they keep protecting our kids. God bless these"

Lt. Gov. Tammy Miller Strinden serves as North Dakota’s current lieutenant governor; Tom Strinden was her husband who recently passed away.
