South Dakota Democrats have filed their FEC Report for September 2025. And in case you were wondering, they had individual donors, at the same time the SDGOP did not.
SDDP Sept 2025 FEC by Pat Powers
Democrats added $33,915.67 to the $58,603.68 cash they had on hand from last month, against expenditures of $39,713.11. Leaving them only $5k down for their big state dinner expenses and salaries. I believe this was the month with all the expenses from the event
But unlike the SDGOP, what they did report are active donors – about 39 pages of them. A feat their former member who is in charge of the Republican party seems unable to inspire. Unfortunately, our 32-year former Democrat Jim Eschenbaum was not one of the good ones. (Maybe we can trade him in, and hope we can do better with a different Democrat?)
Well, we’ll see how the October reports look. Stay tuned.

I must commend the SD Demos in fund raising, though futile. SDGOP gerrymandering years ago took care of that problem
Mr. Ahlers is not messing around. The GOP fellow, that goof and his brigade, they are messing around.
