SOUTH DAKOTA REPUBLICANS COULD SEE PRIMARY CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR, US SENATE AND CONGRESS ON NEXT JUNE’S ELECTION BALLOT.
G-O-P PARTY CHAIRMAN DAN LEDERMAN SAYS THE PARTY STAYS OUT OF THOSE RACES:
SDGOP1 OC……….LEVEL. :17
GOVERNOR KRISTI NOEM IS FACING A CHALLENGE FROM REPRESENTATIVE STEVEN HAUGAARD OF SIOUX FALLS.
LEDERMAN SAYS DESPITE THE GOVERNOR BEING THE NOMINAL HEAD OF THE PARTY, THE ORGANIZATION WILL STAY ON THE SIDELINES;
SDGOP2 OC…..PRIMARY CHALLENGERS. :18
AFTER THE PRIMARY, PARTY RESOURCES WILL THEN BE AVAILABLE FOR THE NOMINEE:
SDGOP3 OC……..DEMOCRATS DON’T :07
WHILE SENATOR JOHN THUNE AND CONGRESSMAN DUSTY JOHNSON HAVE NOT OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED THEIR PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR, IT’S EXPECTED THAT BOTH WILL RUN FOR REELECTION.
