Another George Santos, this time in North Dakota.
This is starting to feel like a trend, or almost connected somehow...
"A residential address Prichard used while sponsoring a ballot measure last year wasn't in his legislative district. He instead used the address of a home owned by his girlfriend's parents. Prichard told The Bismarck Tribune that he was a student at the University of Minnesota's law school "on a part-time and virtual basis," but law school spokesman Marc Cohen told me, "We do not have that.""

So then he tried to bargain with the reporter. At best it looks like he is a high school graduate with no job history. From the same source:
"My column was published in April . Months later, in August, Prichard sent me a text message expressing consternation about an article I'd written about bigoted and offensive messages posted in a group chat used by the North Dakota Young Republicans, an organization loosely affiliated with the North Dakota Republican Party and closely aligned with disgraced former President Donald Trump's political movement.
Since this was the first time Prichard, whose candidacy was endorsed by the Young Republicans , had ever communicated with me, I used the occasion to circle back to the questions surrounding his biography. I asked him if he'd provide documentation proving his claims about his academic career, or sign a release allowing the University of Minnesota to provide it.
Prichard tried to bargain with me, saying he'd provide it if I removed the names of his friends from my article about the Young Republicans. "I'd consider showing documentation if you remove the names of all the elected YRs in the chat as well as candidates running for office from your most recent article," he wrote. "It is greatly unfair to pursue a guilt-by-association tactic and expect me to give you evidence of my attendance.""
