And we’re starting to see what candidates have been spending in pursuit of the big char of State Government. The Marty Jackley for Governor campaign has their pre-primary Campaign finance report filed with the Secretary of State:

Impressive! for less than a 6 month span…
I bet he has pre-paid for commercials also and radio time…so he should have plenty of money through the primary..
Jackley outraided Noem in 2017. I wonder what she’s raised so far in 2018.
Considering she had 2.1M and he had 1.5M and he raised 0.5M, if she raised nothing she still raised more than he did…which I doubt she raised nothing….
Imagine if she hadn’t tried to cheat the voters passed IM 22.
OK, I just read a tweet from Jackley saying they ‘won’ the campaign fundraising race? So I went and looked at the Noem report and it clearly shows she raised more money. Jackley is boasting 97% South Dakota money. That is all fine and good, but to boast ‘winning the fundraising race’ is deceptive. That’s like saying you took first in the Sioux Falls Marathon but the fine print says (among men over 40 from Pierre). I get the point they are trying to make, but it appears they are simply trying to get ahead of the fact that Noem beat their fundraising numbers handily. And has a lot more cash on hand.
I was thinking the same thing…..didn’t make sense with some due dilligence
