Fargo Republican Rep. Shannon Roers Jones, the bill's primary sponsor, had made a push through social media to have constituents urge their senators, including her father, Fargo GOP Sen. Jim Roers, to vote for the bill. Jim Roers voted against the repeal in 2017 when it failed by just two votes. He said he personally didn't like the idea of repealing the law but that he voted in favor of the bill Tuesday "because of my constituents, as well as my daughter."
