When in Pierre today, Dusty Johnson told a Pierre Radio station that there’s a possibility he could run for Governor in 2026, according to Huron Radio:
“I expect to. Nobody knows the future for sure. One of the difficult things about being in the House is that you are up for election every two years regardless. So, yeah. I’m doing the things you need to do to go out and make sure that the voters understand that I work hard whether I run for another term in the House or whether I run for Governor. In general, they think I’m doing a pretty good job, I’m going to keep working hard.
I feel like if I take care of my day job, the politics will take care of itself down the road.”
And just like his run for the PUC, once elected, he will quit for ‘higher office.’
He will quit for higher office after running for Gov, according to who? That’s a lot of silliness.
Dusty’s tired of running for office every two years, but still wants to be a politician.
If he decides to run for Governor, I will gladly vote for him!
Rounds for Senate
Dusty for Governor
Marty or Tony or Larry for Congress
Awesome ticket!!!
Ya think?
He’s finding his niche in DC. Perhaps a good fit for him.
Dusty has been a terrific advocate for SD in Washington, he should be the obvious choice for our next governor.
Why isn’t the current governor the obvious choice? We have a Republican governor. Why do we need to change?
