Congressman Dusty Johnson featured by The Hill as “Changemaker,” one of few in Washington who have made their mark during year in politics

@SoDakCampaigns

South Dakota Congressman Dusty Johnson is one of 28 individuals being featured by  The Hill website for his influence and ability to act as a positive agent of change in our nation’s capital this year.  In the article noting his influence in helping to bring people together in Washington,  especially in the House GOP Caucus, as The Hill points out:

Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) has found himself at the center of nearly every battle in the House GOP conference this year, working to unify the fractious group and shift the narrative that the current class of House Republicans is ungovernable.

Johnson — as chair of the pragmatic Main Street Caucus — played a role in January’s Speaker fight, the push to raise the debt limit in May, and the race to fund the government in September.

and..

“I think when we’re focusing on what divides us, the House Republicans are not very effective. And so, I try to be somebody who can bridge the gap, try to make people focus on what’s achievable and where do we agree,” Johnson told The Hill in an interview. “And to the extent that we’ve had successes, you know, whether it’s been on border security, public safety, energy, spending, I think it has come because Republicans have figured out a way to work together.”

A nice honor for one of South Dakota’s true political leaders.

  1. You’ve got to be kidding me. Only a liberal media source would label Dusty Johnson a “change agent” while he celebrates his “successes on border security, energy and spending” lmao. What successes. This guy is anything but a change agent. He’s a politician through and through, and I don’t mean that as a compliment.

    1. You’re clearly too much of an ideologue to see that Dusty actually gets his bills through congress. You want a culture-warrior or a blowhard, go move to Majorie Taylor or Boeberts districts.

    2. You’re both correct, actually. Dusty is an effective congressman whose primary impetus is to deliver on any issue that brings him closer to Noem’s current position. He’s a politician through and through, but he does good work. I hope he continues to win in DC, that’s where he is needed. Our next Governor should reflect South Dakota values.

      1. ahhh the crowd that wants their own trump primary champ to arrive and deliver us from eeeeevillllll lol THERE you are

        1. Nobody knows what that means. …. although I did read the word “eeeeevilllll” in a very specific voice… so you got me there, barnacle boy.

  2. 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!

    Many would not be surprised if he announced soon that he is running for Dusty’s seat,

    1. next year will end up being dusty’s last chance to jump into trump’s pocket and stay there this time.

      1. Dusty has openly opposed Trump on more than one front, and the only reason he would care is if he was seeking higher office, which he doesn’t seem to be. I’ll add that when Dusty opposed Trump, I think Dusty was RIGHT. Dusty sided with the constitution, Trump sided with the populace.

        1. trump hasn’t seemed to care about the honorable aims of his opponents, he just wants them fired if they are in his party, and they vote against him. dusty will only have a couple more election cycles to get with the program or be primaried. clearly. trump owns the gop right now like a nationwide business or ‘syndicate’ shall we say. that won’t stop if he goes to jail, it just takes out the white house stay.

  3. All those years of working with the TARs has paid off. His ability to manage adolescents will serve him well in Congress.

  4. I’m really tired of the conspiracies and Trump’s tantrums. I think the next Trump administration will be a terrible time. I fell off the Trump bandwagon when he attacked John McCain, our veterans and armed service personnel, and became Putin’s buddy. Dusty looks for some middle ground and that is necessary if we are to make any progress. The Party needs another candidate for President other than Trump.

    2. I thank J McCain for his military service but he was a big New World Order (Globalist) supporter. New World order is not good for the USA sovereignty. Trump is America first, therefore the conflict. The media says Trump attacks veterans and military but all I have see is Trump supporting the military rank and file.

    3. People like you are the problem. You are still blasting your hatred of Trump al the while we are in our 3rd year of Biden tearing the Country apart one limb at a time. Our border is being overrun, inflation has crushed the middle class, crime is rampant, and we’re still sending billions of dollars overseas.

      How about you focus on the current issues rather than a man who hasn’t been in office for 3 years.

  5. the usa is the greatest experiment the world has ever witnessed. can a human society self-govern? until now the answer has been yes, because we were handed a strong well-maintained nation by previous generations who came face to face with freedom-ending foes.

    what is our strength based on? we trust the law above personalities, and we trust each other as a matter of a shared faith in the founding principles of the nation.

    our system is constantly at risk of falling to ruthless strong men who want to negate or flat out destroy the laws which must come first. they exalt themselves, and whether they fail or prosper is based on US, whether we give up our franchise and help a strong man exalt themselves, and make the supreme law a joke or a shambles.

    we are entering what could be the most dangerous year this nation has ever faced, and it will depend on whether we trust each other and join to support the law, or whether we lose that faith and exalt a strong man with an illusion of power to be had.

    i’d wish us the ability to honor truth and choose wisely this new year.
