Early life, education, and career

[edit]

Skroch was born in Browns Valley, Minnesota. She earned a nursing assistant certificate from the Minnesota State Community and Technical College.[1]

Skroch works as a certified nursing assistant. She also owns Vinnie's Mud Bog, a plot of land in Richland County, North Dakota used for off-roading.

North Dakota House of Representatives

[edit]

Skroch was first elected to the North Dakota House of Representatives in November 2016 and assumed office on December 1, 2016.[2][3]

After redistricting placed her in the 25th district in 2022, she was defeated by incumbents Republican Cindy Schreiber-Beck and D-NPL Alisa Mitskog in the general election.

In 2025, the District 25 Republican committee appointed Skroch to fill Schreiber-Beck's term following her death.[4] The committee originally appointed Terry Goerger, but the North Dakota Secretary of State and North Dakota Republican Party invalidated the process.[5]
