Did someone forget to get their campaign finance reports in?

From the Secretary of State’s Office comes the list of people who nearly two months after the deadline that the Secretary say have yet to file their campaign finance report.

Included on the list are the Ballot Question Committee for pot promoters New Approach South Dakota, as well as the committee for a long dormant political campaign from it’s leader Melissa Mentele.

Both extremes of the political spectrum are represented, with the far end of the left coming from Bernie Sanders endorsed Clara Hart, who apparently isn’t big on timely reports, and representative of the extreme right Shad Olson, who is treasurer for Political Action Committee ‘Bright Future,’ which the SOS has also given a tardy slip to.

Two of the more notable names on the list are perennial failed candidate Lora Hubbel, and the chairwoman of the South Dakota Democrat Party herself, Ann Tornberg.

Here’s the list as it stands this morning:

      1. Another example when I wish we had a like button. Good thing I wasn’t taking a drink when I read this. Too funny.

  1. Apparently, there is no teeth to the requirement – the guy listed as running for House from District 4, Matt Rosdahl, ran in the 2016 election.

    1. yes, and I wonder why he would have to file now ? Are there others on the list yet from 2016 ? By the way, Rosdahl moved to GA this summer.

  2. Actually, I think there are more teeth now, and the laws were revised in the recent past where everyone has to file.

  3. So, the head of the Democrat party can’t even file her own campaign finance report but is in charge of every Democrat candidate. Hmmm.
