Janne Myrdal

Janne Myrdal is a Republican member of the North Dakota Senate, representing the 10th district. Myrdal was first elected in 2016, defeating Democrat Quentin Wenzel. Myrdal is a homemaker from rural Edinburg, North Dakota.

In January 2017, Myrdal cosponsored House Bill 1185, which would have classified all internet-connected devices as "pornographic vending machines" that must make unavailable any "obscene material and obscene performances" unless the end user of such a device requests an opt-out in writing and pays the state a $20 opt-out fee. Facing international ridicule, the cosponsors dropped the bill from further consideration.

Also in January 2017, Myrdal posted to her personal Facebook page a rainbow flag that had been defaced with a swastika. The post linked to an article that criticized LGBT opposition to president-elect Donald Trump.
