Fuller's campaign slogan is "A Fresh Start, A Stronger Minot," and is focused on shaking off the status quo and building a future that works for everyone.

"We need leadership that listens, that understands small business and the people's needs, and that respects the hard-earned tax dollars of our citizens." His platform will be focusing on: Stronger support for local businesses and entrepreneurs. Streamlining city operations and reducing wasteful spending. Real infrastructure improvements that prioritize long-term impact. Listening to the community — making sure the people in our city are and feel heard. Fuller and his wife live in Minot with their two sons. He graduated from Bishop Ryan and UND, then returned to Minot in 2012 to raise his family and invest in the community that shaped him. "This is our home," Fuller said. "I'm committed to making Minot a place where our kids want to stay, build careers, and raise their families too." You can find more information here.
