After mostly taking Christmas off to enjoy the family, I’m doing a brief scan of candidate filings, and there are a few new ones popping up, as well as seasoned veterans staking out their claims as we inch towards petition circulation starting on Thursday, January 1.
- Republican State Senator Glen Vilhauer of District 5 has announced his Re-election campaign, as you see below.
- Republican Danny Brown of Madison has filed a statement of organization for District 8 House.
- Democrat Jeff Shelton of Rapid City has filed a statement of organization to run for District 32 Senate.
And I know there are many more to come, including those who have told me they’re in, but want to announce in their own time.
Are Democrats going to run someone with experience or public standing for Governor? We’ll see. There are a lot of candidates to come.
Stay tuned and keep watching dakotawarcollege.com!
It would be nice to see competitive races with seats flip as long as they keep a healthy distance from the “Radioactive Recruiter” who is the kiss of death for political campaigns.
Who is the Radioactive Recruiter?
Seems like a good year for Billie or Stephanie to return.
Mrs Sandlin is the Augustana president, is she not? Seems like enough to do.
Danny Brown link looked wrong.
