So far, that’s 8 GOP Senate Primaries, 12 GOP House Primaries, 1 Dem Senate, and 1 Dem House.
Are there any I missed, or are mistaken on? That’s what the comment section is for. Otherwise, I’ll be updating this as they arise.
Rumor is we’ll see a primary for Sen. Tideman in Brookings.
Really? I can’t imagine who. Larry is pretty popular here, and I haven’t heard hide nor hair of one. Not saying it can’t happen, but I think they’d face a battle that was uphill all the way.
Lora Hubbel is challenging Deb Peters in District 9 Senate. I hope the rumors of a Tideman primary are true. His record on LIFE is terrible. Both him and Peters need to go.
I had heard that early, but she was out trying to recruit someone up to a week or so ago, who backed out because they were of the opinion that Deb did a pretty good job for the GOP.
Has she said she’s running?
Ugh. Answered my own question. The Hubbelcraft is taking off again.
Former Belle Fourche middle school principal Karen Doolittle is circulating a petition to challenge Sam Marty in the 28B republican primary.
Isn’t Doolittle a Democrat?
I don’t know her I guess, but obviously not if she is circulating a petition to run as a republican.
Doo-Little is not a good name for a candidate.
Neither is Sam Marty.
I thought the Republicans were doing a bang up job ? Seems there’s a few out there that think they can do a better job.
