Sioux Falls State Representative Alex Jensen has taken out petitions today and has declared his candidacy for the State Senate seat being vacated by State Senator Phyllis Heineman in District 13.
Jensen is entering a Republican primary contest that’s already a bit crowded with the candidacies of Jack Kolbeck and David Bergen, as well as another candidate rumored to be circulating petitions.
But, having gone through a previous primary election, as well as a general election race, State Representative Jensen is no slouch at campaigning or fundraising, and in any case should be considered a very strong contender for the office.
I thought he wasn’t running again because he’s getting married or something? Or did he just not want to run in District 12 again…
Is this fellow old enough to be in the legislatures?
He has moved to District 13.
He’s getting married and they will live in District 13
But what changed about not wanting to run BECAUSE he was getting married?
Is he running as a democrat ? He votes like one .
What is the Neal Tapio ad on the side of the page for? Is he a candidate?
Hopefully a conservative will enter that race.
Hmmm….pro-abortion, anti gun rights, and voted for the two largest tax increases in state history during his two years in Pierre. We need more Republicans like him like we need a hole in the head.
