Amber Hulse Announces Her Campaign For Senate District 30
According to a press release issued today, lifelong conservative activist, Amber Hulse announced her candidacy for State Senate in the 30th District, which encompasses Custer, Fall River, and parts of Pennington County. Hulse is committed to delivering results for the community and will work hard to ensure that residents of the Black Hills have a voice in Pierre
Upon announcing her campaign, Amber Hulse said, “I have made the choice to run for the Senate because I saw a need in my community that called me to public service. In Pierre, I will always put your needs and the needs of our state and community first. We deserve fresh leadership, and I keep thinking back to my personal motto ‘if not me, then who?’ Exemplary leadership starts with leaders who will put in the work for our community and deliver a conservative agenda. The Black Hills deserve a fresh voice in Pierre, and I look forward to being that voice.”
Hulse is a graduate of the University of South Dakota, graduates from Georgetown Law in 2024 and has served as a law clerk for Governor Kristi Noem and U.S. Senator Hawley on the Senate Judiciary Committee. She was also an intern in the White House for the Trump Administration and has served other elected officials including Secretary of State Shantel Krebs, U.S. Senator Thune, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, and U.S. Senator Lummis of Wyoming.
According to her website, Hulse is focusing her campaign on 4 major points, that she’s Pro-American, and among her policies includes “ensuring foreign nations cannot buy South Dakota farmland. “ Hulse notes she supports education, and plans to tackle “post-COVID learning loss recovery, literacy education, and school attendance should be a priority, as well as championing parents as crucial partners, supporting their involvement in their children’s education.” Hulse also notes her support for veterans, as well as wildlife, land management and conservation among issues she’s concerned about on her campaign page.
Hulse will likely face controversial District 30 State Senator Julie Frye-Mueller in the primary election. Frye-Mueller was removed from the Republican Senate Caucus after her censure over her harassment of a legislative employee involving the employee’s newborn child and the Senator questioning the employee over vaccinations and breast-feeding practices. Frye-Mueller was also stripped of committee assignments by Senate Leadership.
The Primary Election will be held on June 4, 2024. You can find out more and donate to her campaign at http://amberforsouthdakota.com/
Trump AND Hawley? That’s a lot of insurrection-ing.
Bad candidate beats awful candidate. I’d take anybody over JFM but why are the Sioux Falls cohort so bad at finding acceptable candidates for the west river districts. Honestly, pulling names out of a hat might be better. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bXEglx-or6k
A rock is better than JFM…Definitely an upgrade…
The real question is, why isn’t anybody West River finding their own candidates?
D30 knows JFM is nuts. But she’s their nut. I think it’s funny how people outside of a district think someone is crazy while the people in their district keep voting for them.
Klochek rings a few bells.
Pretty sure she’s a Hot Springs girl who decided to run on her own.
Hulse is not from Hot Springs. She’s from Virginia originally. Her whole thing is self grandiose.
What Sioux Falls cohort do you think is finding west river candidates?!
(I definitely appreciate the Brewster’s Millions clip, though!!)
South Dakota appears to be the land of opportunity for young women interested in a political career. Her career doesn’t necessarily recommend her according to my preferences but she certainly has a great opportunity to replace the incumbent on the Republican ticket.
In 2022 JFM and Pischke seemed like two of the easiest pickups. They both survived. Pischke crushed his opponents to my surprise and many others. I’ll be curious how this all changes in ’24
Novstrup also won in what many thought was a race he would lose. I’ll be curious if Perry holds on or if there is a sweep in these three highly targeted districts.
Perry is a legislative behemoth. He wins whatever race he enters from here on. You should be lucky to not drown in his wake.
What specific strengths does he bring to win whatever race he enters?
Katie looks like she is running a good campaign. Thought I saw her door knocking last week but it could have been a different woman.
Don’t know who would win in this race. Should be a good one.
He brings mass. Lots of mass. And a jovial spirit that is infectious. A leader amongst men. Snappy dresser. Dare I go on?
Please do.
Carl does whatever Al wants him to do. He is only running for the senate seat at Al’s direction. Listening to Al may be his demise.
But the commenter above referred to Carl as a leader amongst men and will win any seat he chooses. Was it satire?
Straight out of college, has only worked in DC, Law-degree from the most liberal campus in the state, beauty Pageant queen, moves back home and immediately decides to run for office before she even knows what district she’s living in.
Someone tell her to go have at least ONE real life experience before she decides to run.
but hey… still better than JFM.
You realize that USD is the only law school in the state right? That by definition makes them the most conservative law school too. Have the same gripes when you see a doctor from USD?
Still a lawyer, still the most liberal campus on state. That’s strikes 2 and 3 right there amigo. Doctors are almost worse these days, but they dont run for office.
Well, that’s not true — Dr. Blake Curd was a legislator for years!
The Bonecracker Caucuses are filled with Dr.s. Dr. Deutsch. Dr. Munsterman. Dr. Monroe. Dr. Filderberger. All Drs.
She didn’t go to USD. Do you know how to read?
She DID go to USD. I just wrote it. Do you know how to read??
She went to USD for undergrad. She will be graduating from Georgetown Law School this spring. The original commentor on this thread seems to have claimed she went to law school at USD. Which is not correct.
Hmmm, I *VERY SARCASTICALLY* wonder if USD offers courses applicable to Georgetown’s law program…..
Anyway, your semantics have progressed this dialogue past the actual point, so if you weren’t able to dazzle me with facts, you succeeded in baffling everyone else with bullsh*t.
At least YOU will learn something fr-… well, far be it for me to assume someone went on the internet to actually learn something…
God bless.
Augustana is the most liberal campus in the state.
Oh, have you attended both in the past 8 years?
I have.
Augustana has vocally liberal prophesors, just like any other campus, but not near as bad as USD, SDSU, or BHSU.
Clay County is just a liberal cesspool in comparison to the rest of SD, not much more to be said on that topic.
I’ve attended all these schools, I can TELL you which one is the most liberal… *hint* it’s the one paying drag-queens to read to kids. *shhhh*
I was with you until the last line of your comment — How is she better than JFM?
Maybe she isn’t a toxic personality? Why do we need a senator that’s dumb enough to get kicked out of the caucus?
I think a better question would be: “How is anyone a worse candidate than JFM?”
The fact she beat Goodwin shows that that District has serious issues.
she barely beat him. barely.
Yes, but it shouldn’t have been close.
The word ‘barely’ means absolutely nothing in the world of democracy.
The idiots win 9/10 times.
Gary, JFM thinks vaccines give babies Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome) and cause autism.
She’s nuts AND stupid.
Sounds about as bad as Crazy Larry over at DFP. Could it be she is so far to the right they link up with the extreme left in their common conspiracies and ideas? Cousins? Bongs for babies?
She’s not even originally from south dakota.
Her parents bought a play farm they call a ranch.
Is that a requirement now that SD Q Candidates must have been born in South Dakota? 1 generation or 2 in the state?
She doesn’t care about sd. We are all Littles dolls for her to play with
i don’t know, i’m gonna take a ‘devil you know’ stance until i get some more facts here.
No thanks. These kids who think they’re entitled to positions because they’re young and graduated are never good for the country. If she wins, she runs for higher office within 4 years. Clearly doesn’t care about SD-30.
Lots of claims with nothing backing it up. What says she runs for higher office within 4 years? And if she does, why would that be a bad thing? What evidence do you have that she doenst care about SD-30? Kinda sounds like an old crustie who feels entitled…….
Because she doesn’t even LIVE in D-30??
– and if she has, it hasn’t been more than a consecutive year of her adult life.
Maybe that’s a start.
Not to mention that everything in her repertoire points to self-advancement.

your complaint that “everything in her repertoire points to self advancement” reveals you are a misogynistic little male chauvinist piglet with a tiny dick.
If she were male, she would be an ambitious rising star, a real go-getter, a born leader, a “man’s man.”
She’s expressed the desire for a federal congress position. She’s probably the worst kind of person obsessed with status rather than helping the people of South Dakota.
And yet Noem is seemingly more popular than ever with her term acting as little more than as an extension of her campaign. South Dakotans just dont seem to care, so Im not sure how you think this works.
Thank you. I thought the exact same thing.
Amber was born and raised in Hot Springs. With a degree from Georgetown Law, she could’ve gone anywhere— but she chose to move back to Hot Springs. I think that speaks volumes about how much she cares about South Dakota and D30!
Lol. SHE’S FROM VIRGINIA.
Retirement age people run for office: “Why do we have all these old people making decisions for us.”
Young person runs for office: “Why do people who have no life experiences think they can run for office.”
Can’t win with some of you. Good luck to Amber!
If we could keep it within the confines of say, 30-75, I’d be perfectly happy. That’s 45 years to run for office. It kills me being one of the humble few who continually puts off running for office in pursuit of wisdom to better equip one’s self first, then some 25 year old jumps right into a race, discouraging more-qualified applicants. People are moving here and using our politics as a jump-pad for their personal careers, not only taking away opportunities from local candidates, but crippling their Districts with someone who doesn’t have their interests at heart, let alone even understands what those interests are.
You just described the newly announced District 1 house candidate.
if a guy like trump wanted to follow through on getting even with dusty johnson by primary-ing him out of existence like he did liz cheney, he would have to send back someone who could get the job done. i think this is a sign that getting revenge on dusty is on the to-do list if trump wins.
One of the dumbest statements I’ve read all day.
You think this is a sign that a guy running for President of the free world is out recruiting candidates for the South Dakota State Senate in an effort to help them win in 2024 only to have them turn around in 2026 and primary Dusty Johnson (who might not even be running for Congress) with one term of State Legislative expirence.
Really well thought out take. Thanks for sharing it.
never forgive, never forget – remember, the reagan-era republicans had a venerated little old lady whose main job was remembering every rat who needed payback. trump so totally operates in payback mode. you missed the high points of his post presidency presidency. plenty have returned to the state to do a quick leapfrog up into national office, few have pulled it off. i’m only checking the historical record of these things, and the players involved.
You’re historical record and thought process is deeply flawed.
Have a lovely day!
No, it isnt.
personally i’d love to see tim goodwin back in action but that’s just my own problem.
How ANY District, party, or even individual picks JFM over Goodwin is why I’ll never understand the human race. How do you rid yourself of one of the most conservative-principled, diplomatic, and EFFECTIVE legislators for a woman who can’t even keep herself from getting banned from caucus? What are they putting in the water in D30?
There is a guy up in Aberdeen with all kinds of cash to burn who could primary Dusty. He is all for Trump, crazy conspiracies and is an ego maniac. The nationwide publicity he could generate for South Dakota would be fun to watch. This guy would fit right in with the chaos caucus in Washington or in South Dakota. Crazier the better!
He would win
Who is he?
This should be very interesting. How will JFM and her clan react? CFL will be working behind the scenes with negative stuff for sure. Bottom line, anyone or anything is better than JFM and her bevy of “followers” and puppeteers.
“Lifelong activist”…oh…she started acting at conception?
LOL, I actually like when Democrats have some wit to their remarks.
Good work, Cory.
Partisanship is rotting your brain.
I’m not cory and i’m a registered R.
Oh, have you attended both in the past 8 years?
I have.
Augustana has vocally liberal prophesors, just like any other campus, but not near as bad as USD, SDSU, or BHSU.
Clay County is just a liberal cesspool in comparison to the rest of SD, not much more to be said on that topic.

She’s nice looking, got my vote.
She is a very pretty young woman. Apparently Miss America too. Just like Ms. Krebs and Ms. Wismer. And Ms. Hubbel was nearly Miss America as well. It’s the pretty ones who all get the pass on the elections, and then fail when it comes to where the rubber meets the road bricks.
That is quite clear with what we now have with the snow queen in Pierre.
She is going to be a graduate of Georgetown Law School and you can’t find better conservative credentials than that degree. She’s no dim bulb, she has some intellectual firepower or she would have dropped out of that prestigious institution long ago. How will she match up with her opponent in the primary?? I doubt the issues will revolve around intellect, discretion, or an understanding of the law. Will she be in favor of applying the heavy hand of government to resolve personal disagreements about personal choices, behaviors, and opinions held or expressed by citizens in private discourse and within the public square??? That seems to be the only litmus test in her district.
Another D.C. Swamp Creature running for office in South Dakota.
Kinda explains why the state is so messed up.
This one has Elizabeth Holmes energy.
