Hoeven Statement After Honoring NDSU Bison at White House, U.S. Capitol

WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven issued the following statement after honoring the 10-time NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) National Champion North Dakota State University (NDSU) Bison at the White House and U.S. Capitol. Prior to the Bison’s visit to the White House with President Trump, Senator Hoeven and Senator Kevin Cramer hosted a luncheon on Capitol Hill for the Bison, followed by a tour of the U.S. Capitol.

“The NDSU Bison had a tremendous season, winning their 10^th FCS championship, but not only that, they are great student athletes who represent our state well every day,” said Hoeven. “When I asked President Trump about bringing the Bison to the White House, he agreed quickly and later even put together a nice video with me doing horns up. We appreciate President Trump honoring their achievements at the White House, and had a wonderful time hosting them at the U.S. Capitol today. The players, coaches and staff are truly deserving of these honors and we look forward to all of their future successes.”

After the Bison won their 10^th FCS National Championship earlier this year, Senators Hoeven and Cramer spoke with President Trump to arrange an invitation for the Bison to the White House, and the delegation announced the visit to the White House last month.
