For Brookings County Republicans, it appears that State Representative Mark Mickelson and Attorney General Marty Jackley will be bookending the weekend with dual appearances in the County.
First, Mickelson is the featured speaker for the Brookings County GOP Summer Picnic on Thursday night. And then Marty follows as the featured speaker with the Brookings County monthly GOP Noon Luncheon:
Make sure you catch them both – I’m sure it will be worth it!
These guys were getting around a year ago and everyone knew they were out and about because they are running for Governor. That is swell and the more people who know you and meet you the better but do they run the risk of becoming stale? Let’s say Kristi Noem jumps into this race at the end of next summer or Matt Michels watches these two and realizes that people are hohum about them and gets in. It will make a splash and excite people.
I just wonder if campaigning for two-three years in advance for an office is a good thing or not. it’s good for fundraising but it is also good for becoming yesterdays news.
I still think Mike Rounds will run for Governor if Hillary wins.
