FILE – In this Jan. 4, 2017 photo, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and first lady Kathryn Helgaas Burgum greet the crowd at the governor’s inauguration celebration in Bismarck, N.D. The former tech executive Burgum’s Silicon Valley-styled approach to leading North Dakota government has sparked conflicts with longtime Republican power brokers. He replaced his office desk chair with a wellness ball, frequently wears jeans and assigned subordinates corporate titles. But a looming conflict extends far beyond style.
