Today, Rachel Dix of Aberdeen filed paperwork with the Secretary of State’s office to form a campaign committee to run for the State Senate in District 3:
This sets up a potential primary for the State Senate seat currently held by former majority whip and current Senator Al Novstrup, who has represented Aberdeen in the State House or the State Senate since 2003.
In a quick review of records, I don’t note that Senator Novstrup has ever faced a primary election in any of his races for the State Legislature.
Novstrup’s latest term of office in the Senate has had him either unopposed, or facing (now Nebraska resident) Cory Heidelberger, whom he defeated by a minimum of 1500 votes in each of their two head-to-head battles.
Is this more of Schoenbeck’s pursuit to purge all conservatives?
That doesn’t sound paranoid at all. Not!
100% right. This is her treasurer
Prior to joining the Richardson Law Firm, Jack Hieb practiced law with Lee Schoenbeck in Webster, South Dakota and served a four year term as the Day County State’s Attorney
“Novstrup’s latest term of office in the Senate has had him either unopposed, or facing (now Nebraska resident) Cory Heidelberger, whom he defeated by a minimum of 1500 votes in each of their two head-to-head battles.”
And that was such a beautiful event to behold!
About time! Novstrup went stale long ago!
Wow. She will lose badly.
Is Dennert running against Rhol?
They are different districts but I heard Dennert wants to move out of town. Dennert would be foolish if he tried to take on Rohl.
I would put money that Dennert would win 60%-40%
Geez, Who is giving you betting advice….Wismer? Both sides would spend 40k+ and Rohl would prob win 3 counties, if not all 4. That would be an exciting race in District 3, but not 1.
Will Al be in Aberdeen enough to campaign?
Rohl wants to legalize all drugs. Drew would easily win.
By a minimum of 20%
Glad to see Drew’s family is so supportive.
Well whatever we are doing now with drugs sure as hell isn’t working.
Senator Al Novstrup is serving his tenth session. He has great institutional knowledge,
is a friend to business and the Aberdeen Area.
Novstrop probably has pep in his step now. He thrives in tough races and knows everyone in Aberdeen. He will get nearly 70%
I’d have to believe Dennert would beat Rohl. Would be a fun race to watch!
I saw she is the executive director of the housing association
Anyone know her?
No. Race over.
Al is Smart
Al is Effective
Al is Well-Known
Al is a Businessman
Al is Moral
Al is a Good-Sh*t
I’ll give you 2 out of 6. He is a well known businessman. The rest? Not so much.
Thank god someone will finally take him on. He is sharp as a tack but is only in it for himself. He doesn’t answer to his constituents when his approached with a concern, and when he does, he will tell you in a condescending way why you are wrong and his way is right. He spends 75% of his time in Sioux Falls anyway. Its time to rid the legislature of the Novstrup and get some real representation for Aberdeen in Pierre.
I will be casting my vote for Rachel Dix in June!
Time to clean house with all seats in District 3.
