Senator Kevin Cramer, who represents North Dakota in the U.S. Senate, recently posted a series of messages on his social media account highlighting state pride and federal actions related to agriculture and defense.

On November 1, 2025, Senator Cramer marked National Bison Day with a tribute to an iconic animal of his home state: "On National Bison Day, we celebrate America’s national mammal. In North Dakota, our state’s bison are a symbol of resilience and majesty! https://t.co/U9YZVihM2Q"

The following day, he commemorated North Dakota's anniversary as a state: "Happy 136th birthday, North Dakota! I’m thankful to call this beautiful state my home. https://t.co/bESOyfIH1p" This message reflects ongoing recognition of the state's history since its admission to the Union in 1889.

On November 3, Senator Cramer provided updates on recent policy initiatives and notable events: "Last week:

I called on DOJ and @AGPamBondi to rededicate itself and follow through with its antitrust investigation into the Big 4 meatpackers.

My friend Gen. Wilsbach was confirmed as @usairforce Chief of Staff.

@GovArmstrong directed over $1.5 mill in state funds to https://t.co/TUExG8Pc8Y"

The senator's mention of calling for renewed antitrust investigations into major meatpacking companies follows longstanding concerns about competition in the beef industry. Lawmakers have previously urged the Department of Justice (DOJ) to address allegations that four large firms dominate meat processing markets—a situation some believe affects prices for both producers and consumers.

Additionally, Senator Cramer's acknowledgment of General Wilsbach's confirmation as Chief of Staff highlights recent leadership changes within the U.S. Air Force. The reference to Governor Armstrong directing more than $1.5 million in state funding points toward continued investment in local priorities.

Senator Kevin Cramer has been known for emphasizing agricultural issues important to North Dakota and supporting measures intended to promote transparency and fair competition within key industries.
