20 thoughts on “Speaker Mickelson stands in support of Congresswoman Kristi Noem”

  1. I don’t know if I would call that an endorsement but Mickelson’s support means a lot to the voters! He would make a great lieutenant governor for Noem.

    1. But then Mark would have to embrace all of that out-of-state special interest money funding Noem’s campaign. She has already transferred $1.6 million from her congressional account- most of which was DC PAC money. I think Mark should get back in the race as a candidate For Governor. I am not a fan of Noem and her out-of-state money.

      1. Mickelson wants to ban that type of dark money that comes from out of state and buys SD elections.

        He will get his way because he is a tenacious and fiercely intelligent speaker of house.

      2. I don’t understand the constant attacks by team Jackley you’re getting old let’s keep this primary positive.

    2. I’ve heard he’s teaming up with Jackley. The legislature is trying to ban the transfer of federal dollars to state accounts.

  2. Also, he could be a part-time lieutenant governor and still spend time with his kids since he cited that as his reason for not running for governor.

  3. I’m not surprised, I had heard from many people that Jackley was telling them that Mark was very liberal starting his spear campaign early.

  4. They’re an interest group that generally supports conservative ideals and principles. If you waiver they’re going to call you out for it. I don’t think they’re nameless faceless especially to a politician. Wasn’t Pat Toomey in charge of the organization for a while? They support a wide range of candidates from Justin Amash to Marco Rubio. Overall they’re a great organization for conservative Republicans. Maybe Mr. Mickelson could learn a thing or two from them.

    1. Nameless and faceless, the everyday man, has been winning elections as of late. It’s the Brand Name that has been struggling. If a politician is unable to differentiate just who’s names and faces are behind Big Money, then their not “ALL IN”.

  5. Good job, Mr. Speaker! Club Growth is no different than Al Sharpton or Black Lives Matter. It’s all about fund-raising. If you don’t find a reason to rile up the base, they stop sending checks. The only people who benefit from organizations like these are the ones who run them.

  6. Mickelson is acting like a liberal. He says he believes in free speech, but when he does not like what is said, he wants to gag the speakers. He should make his arguments based on the merits of what is said rather than who says it.

    1. Unless it was Stace or Russell that said it. I don’t believe Michels has to recognize them when they ask to speak on the Senate Floor. I wish he wouldn’t. It’s nothing but a waste of everyone’s time.

      1. I was not referring to any speech on the House floor. I was referring to his attack on speech by out-of-state groups. The same is true, by the way, of HB 1200, of which he is the primary sponsor.

  7. So let me get this right. Is it fair to say that Noem and Mickelson are now in favor of protectionism, which will further hurt an Ag community that continues to experience economic ills?

    It seems to me that Noem and Mickelson have handed the Ag vote to Jackley or at least have weaken Noem’s core base, while Jackely will most likely be more popular in the urban areas of the state and now has an opening or opportunity in the rural areas of the state, too……

      1. Farmers can always lock their doors, but they are totally at the mercy of protectionist talk, however….

  8. If one Googles Club For Growth, one can learn the names and faces behind the organization. It’s not that hard to do.

  9. I personally think Mark Mickelson is Marty’s only chance at winning the primary if you can lock down Mark he’s got this thing won.
