D32 State Senator Helene Duhamel was in mailboxes this past week with a new postcard which talks about how she’s worked with many of our elected officials to solve problems. (there’s a GOP and non-GOP version out there, here’s the GOP card that went out):
Protecting Mt. Rushmore, making sure drinking water ia available, supporting Ellsworth, protecting communities and supporting law enforcement, helping to fund the expansion of the Rapid City Regional Airport, etcetera is all a good list. For the Republican faithful, the quote on the front from State Senator and South Dakota Republican Party Chairman John Wiik is very much worth taking notice of:
That’s ONE Republican in the race for District 32 State Senate. And it isn’t the other person.
The Freedom Guard posted by NK Braithwraight promoted Shana McVickers and Scott Odenbach as the team to vote for.
Both are pro-marijuana and pro-choice.
“Woke mob came for Mount Rushmore…” Seriously, Dusty?
The other person is a Rino, not an Independent. Duhamel is the true Republican.
Duhamel is the only choice.
We are Team Helene in this family! GO HELENE!!
I’m Sorry, but how can you be a 5th generation South Dakotan if you weren’t even born here, but in Palo Alto California?
You have not been around RC long if you doubt the legitimacy of the “5 generations” statement. Perhaps her birth was in Calif, but that’s because her Dad was a student at Stanford at the time. The Duhamel name is practically synonymous with Rapid City.
I guess I can Break it down for you:
Helene Duhamel Born 1962 in Palo Alto California
Her Dad Bill Duhamel Born in 1938 presumably in Rapid City
Her Mom Jacque Serati 1939-1997 Born in Missouri
Her Grandfather Francis A. “Bud” Duhamel 1902-2000 Rapid City
Her GrandMother Helen S. Duhamel (Seidell) 1904-1991 Born in Missouri
Her Great Grand Father Alexander Joseph Duhamel 1872-1941 Born in Denver
Her Great Grand Mother Mary Catherine “Mamie” Owens Duhamel 1873-1971 Born in Colorado
Her Great Great Grand Father Peter Duhamel 1840-1927 Born in Canada
Her Great Great Grand Mother Katrine Lippus 1847-1908 Born in Germany
Best I can tell at best she is only 3 generations deep, but we all know she is only herself
