August 2026 SDGOP FEC Report by Pat Powers
Just like Yogi Berra quipped, It’s just like deja vu all over again.
Here we are and all the SDGOP managed to do in the last month is to raise $20 in their Federal account. By the numbers:
$20 raised. $3.75 in interest $710.69 robbed from the State Account.
They started with $29,706.91, and they ended with less. $29,525.21.
Where are all the people who wanted to be in charge? I would have thought they would be enriching the party’s coffers to overwhelming levels to defeat all comers?
Instead, they leave South Dakota Republicans with pronouncements of their superiority through ai slop posts on facebook and malaise.
Pat… You are a master of words! “AI Slop Post” will be a new mainstay of my vocabulary. The GOP has traded critical thinking and solution leadership for feigned righteousness and fear mongering. Not the party I worked hard for in the ’70’s or mid ’90’s when David Volk was the highest level GOP official or Mike Rounds was MINORITY Senate leader.
I have heard that the SDGOP is not doing a push to get out the vote, and they’re not donating to candidates. So why should anyone support them? They are neglecting their entire reason to exist!
Those things require efforts and many of their chosen candidates lost the primary.
