It’s been a few months, so it’s time to update our election infographic on who we can expect is running for what in the 2022 Republican Primary. While it has largely stayed the same, there are a couple of notable updates, including a possible opponent emerging for Congressman Dusty Johnson, and US Senator John Thune’s opposition firming up. If they can get on the ballot, that is.
And with that, it’s time for the Tale of the GOP Tape Summer 2021 edition!
Any updates or new information? Drop me a note!
I think the LG is weighing Governor Noem down a bit, but I respect her bipartisan decision.
Can she afford to lose a single voting block?
South Dakota will be just fine.
It seems early…
Senator John Thune is the experienced leader
Governor Kristi Noem is an awesome person and governor
Jason Ravnsborg Attorney General; whew; let’s see what the courts decide
Congressman Dusty Johnson has Shantel and Taffy both considering a run
Senator Brock Greenfield looks to be the Commissioner of School & public lands
The best advice is get involved, learn all you can and be sure to vote!
From what I have been told by people across SD the race isn’t going to be close. Greenfield has a lot of support.
I had not heard anything about Shantel running after last time she gave it a go.
It isn’t early if someone is running a serious race and has to raise serious money. Which is why you see some of the bad ones wait until next year.
Solid point made by PP
Krebs and Tapio need to go away.
Is Tapio really going to let Mowry and Whalen be the candidate against Thune? After all of his big talk?
Thune is the experienced leader at spending money that doesn’t exist and representing special interest groups and ignoring the responsibilities of a senator (pushing back against radical nominees to Biden’s cabinet for example. Or ignoring the concerns of his constituents about election fraud.)
Thune is an experienced politician for sure and are we pleased with where our Republican leadership has brought us?! Senate Republican leadership is an conservative shell concealing a self-serving agenda and they hated Trump because he didn’t have to play their games to get money and power. He had done it through the business road rather than off the taxpayers and lobbyists.
I have hope for Dusty Johnson or whoever may run against him. They do not have the deeply entrenched bad habits of Thune and Rounds. The power of self-preservation is driving all conservative values out of our career politicians. They are getting progressively worse not better. It is time for the career politicians to go back home and spend the rest of their lives hunting and fishing with the millions they have made in back door deals and special interest kickback.
I am concerned that Noem is so worried about what big business thinks that she may be unable to lead well in the future because if your principles can be bought out they weren’t really principles to start with. (i.e. pandering to amazon, NCAA)
There is just so much here that is BS, it’s hard to know where to start.
Ditto.
The Rhoden Rhangers asked me to point out that 88% + 22% seems improbable, unless this math is of Mr. Nelson’s insaner-than-most style. Although a Rhoden gut-punch is always delivered with more than 110%.
