The never-ending Sutton for South Dakota Campaign has filed their campaign finance report for year end of 2019:
Billie Sutton YE 2019 Campaign Finance Disclosure by Pat Powers on Scribd
What’s the low-down? The losing Democrat campaign for Governor is reporting that they started off with $79,575.33 in funds, to which they added $41,968. (You can read the list of itemized donations on the last page of the pdf.)
Sutton reported expenditures of $83,512.95 in 2019, including $16,181.06 on consulting, and $21,150 on salaries. It also notes a $10,000 donation to a “non-profit charitable organization,” which I would assume is his own leadership institute, but state law is fairly lax on reporting where you spend it.
After it’s all said and done, Sutton for Governor is left sitting on $38,031.07.
says he is running in 2022 to me….otherwise he would be shutting it down
and why wouldn’t he. $80k bought him a lot this year. Meth we’re on it. Daughter’s pay raise. A revolving staff. A never ending feud with the public and legislature regarding hemp… and her approval rating is underwater right now.
Sad when he doesn’t realize his campaign is over.
