A native of Mandan, North Dakota, Erhardt graduated from Jamestown College in 1953, then spent the next two years serving in the military. After leaving the service, he was hired in 1956 as an assistant coach at Williston High School in Williston, North Dakota. The following year, he began a six-year run as a head coach at two North Dakota Catholic high schools: from 1957 to 1959, his teams at St. Mary's of New England compiled a mark of 25–3–1, followed by another three-year run at Bishop Ryan High School in Minot, where he was 20–6–1 from 1960 to 1962.
Early career
That success elevated him to the collegiate level, where he served as an assistant at North Dakota State University for three years beginning in 1963. On February 10, 1966, he became head coach at the school, setting the stage for another strong tenure in which he put together a record of 61–7–1 in his seven years. Erhardt also served as the Bison's athletic director, winning a pair of college national championships.
Until July 2008, Erhardt was a Republican and was endorsed by the Republican party. For nine successive terms, he earned election victories, even when other Republicans did poorly. In 2006 he won with 59.5%. However, over time his district, then numbered District 41A, went from Republican-leaning to becoming more of a swing district, with candidates of both major parties succeeding in the same elections. Illustrated by the district supporting DemocratsJohn Kerry in the 2004 election and Amy Klobuchar for US Senate in 2006 while at the same time voting strongly for Republicans such as then Congressman Jim Ramstad and the current Congressman Erik Paulsen, as well as State Representative Ron Erhardt, who won as an endorsed Republican in those same 2004 and 2006 elections with a 60% plurality.
On that rainy night, when the angels tears were falling I saw it for the first time Coming out from the dark With it's evil smile and it's wicked ways Growing stronger as the night is falling And the daylight fades away It devours the light The beast in the night It will soon hunt you down It tears out your heart Beware from the start You better run or hide From the darkest grave up from the deepest ocean It will rise with a fury so strong The will to destroy, is the primal urge that keeps this beast alive It summon the forces of darkness, rising up from hell It devours the light The beast in the night It will soon hunt you down It tears out your heart Beware from the start You better run or hide But a new day will come, when all the filth and sorrow is gone The beast will be conquered, slayed to the ground Never to return and the world will rise again From the ashes of the evil reign It devours the light The beast in the night It will soon hunt you down It tears out your heart Beware from the start
