April FEC Report: South Dakota Democrats raise $41k, spent $39k and have $61k cash on hand.

You can read it in the headline. Once again, the South Dakota Democrat Party out-raised the state Republican party by a factor of 1,000x, and at the same time posted in the neighborhood of 50+ donors.

SDDP April 2026 FEC Report by Pat Powers

While current SDGOP Chairman (& 32-year former Democrat) Jim Eschenbaum’s GOP managed a single $45 donation, South Dakota Democrats posted $40,698.05 raised in their federal account.    Democrats spent $38,781.89 according to their report, and were left with $60,993.02 cash on hand at the close of the reporting period.

Ugh. If we have to have a recent Democrat running the South Dakota Republican Party, why didn’t they send one of the ones who knows how to run a political party? This is just embarassing.

  1. Once again, Pat, the term for Eschenbaum isn’t “Democrat,” it’s “incompetent.” Clearly, the Democratic Party doesn’t seem to have a problem with monthly operations.

  2. Momentum is building calling for the SDDP nominee Julian Beaudion to withdraw from the US Senate race. They believe Independent US Senate candidate Brian Bengs has the best shot in flipping that seat.
