From the Rapid City Journal:
Gov. Dennis Daugaard told Republican county leaders at their statewide meeting Saturday that candidate recruiting can start immediately for 31 of the 105 seats in the Legislature. Those are seats that Democrats currently hold or have Republicans who can’t seek re-election to the seats in 2016 because they are term-limited. He also suggested that the 74 other Republicans should be asked whether they plan to run again in 2016 so there can be a head-start on finding new Republican candidates to run if they aren’t.
“We are so much more organized, and it makes us strong,” Daugaard said.
Good, solid advice. Time to get recruiting for offices, especially since we may be circulating petitions in 9 months.
