The North Dakota Democratic\u2013Nonpartisan League party, an affiliate of the national Democratic party, confirmed Conmy\u2019s death in a social media post, calling her a champion for public education, the environment and transparency.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are completely heartbroken and gutted by the loss of Representative Liz Conmy. Her death is a profound loss for our state,\u201d the party said in a post on X.<\/p>\n
