Jamie Smith will presumably name a running mate who will run against Rhoden for LG.
Not really. They run as a ticket of Gov & Lt., against Gov & Lt. We’re not a state where they can be elected separately.
Natvig for AG doesnt have a campaign finance report. Jackley has $300k.
How has Natvig not spent over $500 in gas yet? How does he expect to win a general without any money raised?
Maybe because he filed after the last reporting deadline and does not have to do one until October.

I don’t care how much money Marty has he chose to defend TDenny Sanford and take his dirty money.
Im confused. Natvig dropped the case against T Denny ? Isn’t he the head of DCI?
Why isn’t he charging him if he thinks he has the evidence?
DCI investigates and recommends action, then other in AG office prosecute
Ravnsborg was going to investigate the governor….charge t denny…. it’s a lot of talk and not much action.
That’s because noem went after Ravnsborg so she would be investigated. That is obvious to everyone in the state.
Natvig didn’ drop the case against T Denny, Charley did. I heard Natvig is all for going after bad people like T Denny.
Have the Democrats even set a date for their convention yet? I have not seen one.
They have, not that they added it to the calendar, or anything.
2022 State Convention at Drifters Bar & Grille in Fort Pierre on July 8th and 9th.

Thank you. It tells you how well they have done at publicizing it!
No money no candidates no chance party
Dem bench could easily be:
Brendan Johnson
Kasey Olivier
Randy Seiler
Alison Ramsdel
Stephanie Herseth Sandlin
These are 5 good options.
I suspect Herseth and Brendan are out. But Herseth would be a slam dunk and I don’t see many GOP donors lining up to support the current AG office. Herseth could then run for Gov in 4 years or Senate.
Seiler would be the weakest though he is a good attorney.
Olivier would be a strong candidate after almost beating Curd when he was majority leader, president of SD trial lawyers, plus she has a great personal story. Ramsdell would be a serious contender and taken seriously among the legal community.
Dems have options if GOP is reckless.
I hear this paying to attend hospitality rooms is going over like a lead balloon.
How can they even do that when the candidates pay for the rooms and refreshments don’t they?
There’s a fee for the national convention, not sure why they would not expect one at the state convention.

There is no fee for visiting the hospitality rooms.
There should be, but there isn’t.
Its always interesting to see the delegates who don’t show up until Saturday morning, who pay nothing toward the cost of the convention, don’t participate in any of the activities or committees, who then call all of us who have been there for two days already, working (and paid hundreds of dollars for the privilege) RINOs.
Apparently Pat likes Democrats more than Libertarians. Say it ain’t so, Pat. Say it ain’t so! 🤣
Should be interesting. If I was Dusty I would be helping Monae Johnson and David Natvig take out potential 2026 Governor candidates in Steve Barnett and Marty Jackley.
