KCCR News in Pierre recently featured a press announcement from a candidate who announced his intentions to take on Senate Majority Leader Jim Mehlhaff in the next election.
According to the candidate’s announcement on facebook:
Brian Murphy is a former state and federal prosecutor, a constitutional conservative, and a retired U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant. A combat-wounded veteran who served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, Brian has dedicated his life to defending the United States and the freedoms we hold sacred.
After his military service, Brian continued that commitment in the courtroom—fighting for justice, protecting victims, and upholding the rule of law at both the state and federal levels.
Now, Brian is running for South Dakota Senate, District 24, to serve the people with the same integrity, discipline, and devotion he brought to the Marines and to the U.S. Justice Department.
As a constitutional conservative, Brian will bring a steady focus on protecting individual liberties, defending property rights, strengthening public safety, and ensuring government remains accountable to the people—not the other way around. He will apply his deep knowledge of the law to safeguard the constitutional freedoms and interests of the people of District 24 and all of South Dakota.
Read that here. You can also read about it at KCCR News.
He talks about being a conservative.. but doesn’t actually use the word ‘Republican‘ in his release. So we can only assume he’s running for a position on the GOP ticket at this point.
Good to see new faces in the legislature. I wish him well.
AMEN !!!!!!!!
He must be a republican Demos are all Stalinist Maoists, Leninist, radical heathens
He doesn’t describe himself as a conservative. Rather, as a Constitutional Conservative. That’s the exact same way Dylan Jordan describes himself.
