Mark F. Weber is an American politician, farmer, and businessman serving as a member of the North Dakota Senate from the 22nd district. Elected in November 2020, he assumed on December 1, 2020.

Weber’s father, Hank Weber, served in the North Dakota House of Representatives from 1963-64 and 1967-80 as a democrat.

Education

Weber earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanized agriculture and Master of Science in agricultural economics from North Dakota State University.

Career

Weber has worked as a farmer and was the director of the Northern Crops Institute in Fargo, North Dakota for 6 years.

During the 2020 North Dakota Senate election, longtime incumbent state senator Gary Lee announced he would retire after serving since 2001. Weber would run for the seat unopposed in the primary. Weber would later win the general against democrat Laetitia Hellerud with 68% of the vote.

Weber serves as the Vice Chairman for the senate Taxation & Finance Committee along with being a member of the Agriculture and Veterans Affairs committee.

Weber announced he would run for re-election in 2024. Originally, Weber was challenged in the primary by high schooler Nicholas Stensland, but would eventually win the primary unopposed and go on to the general without a democrat challenger.
