59 County State’s Attorneys Endorse Jackley 

PIERRE, SOUTH DAKOTA: Marty Jackley announced today that he has received the endorsement of State’s Attorneys from 59 counties in South Dakota so far.

“The county State’s Attorneys are on the front lines prosecuting crimes to keep South Dakota families safe, and I am honored to have their support,” said Marty Jackley.

Pennington County State’s Attorney Mark Vargo said, “Marty’s return to the Attorney General’s office would mean exactly what it always has…hard work, integrity, and old-fashioned South Dakota leadership by example. I am thrilled to see him come back as a partner because he embodies the professionalism and values that South Dakota deserves from its Attorney General.”

Brookings County State’s Attorney Dan Nelson said, “Marty is a proven leader for South Dakota. As Attorney General, he worked tirelessly to support State’s Attorneys across South Dakota to ensure they received the assistance needed to keep their communities safe. I appreciate his willingness to serve and lead our law enforcement efforts again as the next Attorney General.”

Clay County State’s Attorney Alexis Tracy said, “Marty’s proven experience and record as Attorney General, United States Attorney, and as a State’s Attorney is why he has my full support to be our next Attorney General.”

The South Dakota State’s Attorneys Association named Marty the South Dakota Prosecutor of the Year in 2008, and they presented him with their Distinguished Service Award in 2019.

  1. Yeah old fashioned leadership in EB5 , Gearup and lots of leadership like that enjoyed by Laura Zilstra and the $1M verdict she received.

    Don’t we have anyone new?

  2. Very impressive…and only a few weeks after his announcement. The State’s Attorneys can see through the political attacks. They have known Jackley for years and they know he is a proven leader they can trust.

    1. How so? Jackley has no interest in being AG, he is running for AG to run for governor that he lost before doing. He will spend the entire time campaigning. Anyone I have talked to at the AG’s office said how much better the AG’s office is running under Ravnsborg.

      2. I’m going to throw the BS flag on that one. From personal experience, the office was run considerably better under Marty’s leadership.

        1. I call the BS on you. I have talked with multiple people from the office that have said how great it is to work for Ravsnborg. They didn’t say Jackley stunk, they just said things run smoother under Ravnsborg.

  3. Haha farewell Jason. You can shamelessly refuse to resign, but the the voters will let you know what they think about that soon. You’ll be lucky to get 10% in the primary.

    1. excuse me, but you must have forgotten that the AG candidate is not selected in a primary. He or she is selected at the party convention.

  4. Incredible number of these folks I know personally and so thankful all interactions from outside of the courtroom. 😀

    1. Not including the two that thought it would be inappropriate to endorse since they are currently involved in the Ravensborg prosecution.
