American Republican politician, who served as the 37th lieutenant governor of North Dakota, from 2010 to 2016. He was appointed by Governor Jack Dalrymple on 7 December 2010. Wrigley previously served as United States Attorney for the District of North Dakota (2001–2009), as deputy chief of staff to Governor John Hoeven (2000), and as executive director of the North Dakota Republican Party. He has been nominated by President Donald Trump to become the United States Attorney for the District of North Dakota; if confirmed, it will be the second time he has held this position. In 2001, President George W. Bush appointed Wrigley to be the United States District Attorney for North Dakota. In this capacity, he was responsible for prosecuting all federal crimes committed in the state. His most famous case was the Dru Sjodin kidnapping and murder. Wrigley successfully prosecuted Alfonso Rodriguez, a repeat sex offender from Crookston, Minnesota, for the kidnap, rape, and murder of Sjodin (he was sentenced to death on 22 September 2006). In addition to personally leading the trial team in the trial that lead to Rodriguezs death sentence, Wrigley successfully argued the case before the Eighth Circuit Court Of Appeals, which upheld Rodriguezs conviction and death sentence.
