Senator John Hoeven, U.S. Senator representing North Dakota, addressed a range of issues in a series of posts on his social media account between September 8 and September 10, 2025.

On September 8, Hoeven discussed recent defense priorities for North Dakota, referencing collaboration with Wahid Nawabi from AeroVironment. He stated: "Discussed defense priorities in North Dakota with Wahid Nawabi from @aerovironment, a key new partner with GrandSky and Project ULTRA. Excited to work together to strengthen our national security." AeroVironment is known for its development of unmanned aircraft systems and is involved in partnerships focused on military technology advancements.

Two days later, on September 10, Hoeven highlighted a conversation with Lt. Gen. Davis regarding the future leadership of Air Force Global Strike Command: "Spoke with Lt. Gen. Davis, the next commander of Air Force Global Strike Command. His leadership vision and commitment to national security stood out. Looking forward to working with him on nuclear modernization." The Air Force Global Strike Command oversees the United States' strategic bomber forces and intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Later that day, Hoeven commented on violent events in Utah and offered condolences: "The events in Utah today are appalling - there is no place for political violence in our society. Mikey and I are praying for the Kirk family and send our sincerest condolences to all of Charlie's loved ones."

These statements reflect ongoing defense collaborations involving North Dakota’s GrandSky business park—an aviation hub at Grand Forks Air Force Base—and federal efforts toward nuclear modernization through commands like Air Force Global Strike Command.
