FILE - In this Jan. 3, 2017, file photo, Republican Gov. Doug Burgum opens North Dakota's 65th legislative assembly in Bismarck, N.D. In his first year as North Dakota's top executive, Burgum hosted the president and vice president, dealt with the biggest civil unrest in state history, admitted to smoking marijuana as a young man, and managed to get sued by the Legislature that's controlled by his own party. The wealthy former software executive, who has donated his state paycheck for substance abuse initiatives, succeeded in being elected governor by running as an outsider vowing to "reinvent state government."
