Mary Kathryn "Heidi" Heitkamp (born October 30, 1955) is a lawyer and politician from the U.S. state of North Dakota. She served as the 28th attorney general of the state from 1993 to 2001. She ran on the Democratic-NPL ticket for governor in 2000, losing to John Hoeven. She considered a bid for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate election to replace retiring Senator Byron Dorgan[2], but on March 3, 2010, declined the rematch against Hoeven, who was ultimately elected.[3] In November 2011, Heitkamp declared her candidacy to replace Kent Conrad as U.S. Senator from North Dakota in the 2012 election.[4]
