I have known Catherine Barranco for a number of years . Our paths first crossed when she was President of the South Dakota Federation of Republican Women . She facilitated the forming of Northern Hills Republican Women as a SDFRW and NFRW club . I also served with her on the Board of Directors for SDFRW.Her enthusiasm and mentorship was a great asset to us all.
Catherine also took on the responsibility of reviving Tars Camp . Through her leadership ,Tars was able to provide a fun filled informative week in the beautiful Black Hills for a large number of our youth . She organized several of our state’s leaders to give presentations to the group.
Catherine’s work experience along with extensive education makes her a perfect candidate for South Dakota State Auditor ! Please join me in supporting her at the SDGOP Convention .
I have also known and worked with Catherine in her capacity as President of South Dakota Federation of Republican Women. She is a true leader by example, she manages people/committees with respect, she is very intelligent, and I know that she is more than qualified for this position. Most importantly, Catherine loves South Dakota and has a passion for public service. Please reach out to everyone you know and help elect Catherine at the SDGOP convention.
