Biographical History
Arthur A. Link was born in Alexander, N.D. in 1914, and attended schools in McKenzie County. Later, he studied farm husbandry at the North Dakota Agricultural College. Link served in the North Dakota House of Representatives from 1946 to 1970, including 14 years as minority floor leader, and as Speaker of the House in 1965. He was also active in township and county affairs, serving as a member of the Randolph Township Board, McKenzie County Welfare Board, and Randolph School Board. Link also served on the county and state Farm Security Administration committees. Link was elected to the 92nd Congress, and served from 1971-1972 as the representative for North Dakota's Second (West) District. This office was eliminated by reapportionment in 1972. In 1972, Link received the Democratic nomination for Governor of North Dakota, and held the state's chief executive position until 1981. During his term as Governor, Link showed concern for the development of the state's natural resources, and was particularly devoted to the health of North Dakota's agricultural economy; promoting foreign and domestic trade for North Dakota products. In 1981, Link was made director of the Bismarck State Bank (now Bank Center First), and was appointed Chairman of the Centennial Commission by Governor George A. Sinner in 1985.
