Dakota News Now: Ravnsborg not running for Attorney General at GOP Convention

@SoDakCampaigns

Dakota News Now is reporting that Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg is noting that he is not planning to run for AG at the Republican Convention:

Ravnsborg did not respond to a request for comment on the matter. However, sources close to the matter tell Dakota News Now that since being impeached in the House, Ravnsborg has been telling Republican delegates and close confidants that he will not run for the office again in 2022, regardless of the outcome of the Senate impeachment trial later this month.

Read the entire story here.

I don’t think this comes as a surprise for anyone.

The whole situation is unfortunate, but it’s for the best that he make his intentions known.  Hopefully this moves the matter closer to closure, especially with the Senate trial coming late this month.

  1. It is for the best.

    A tragic situation all around.

    I believe it was an accident and he didn’t know what he hit until the next day, but still a tragedy for all.

  2. Now, if Natvig would just do us all a favor and quietly scurry away, we’d all be better off.

      1. Delegates are not stupid. One candidate has $300k the other has $0. One candidate has almost unanimous support among law enforcement. The other has lost 50% of his DCI agents the past 3 years.

        Democrats are hoping Republicans are stupid and nominate Natvig.

  3. Outsider, you nailed it. DCI has lost 20 agents in the three + years Natvig has been “in command.” A train wreck. Some good prosecutors also bailed under these current guys. It will take years to repair.

    Natvig publicly says “I am a COP!” but he is NOT CERTIFIED…has not even had the little bitty 13 week basic cop course. To claim he is a cop is to insult each and every legit (certified and trained) law enforcement officer in the state.

    He touts his prosecution experience, which actually consisted of having AG Jackley’s phone number on speed dial, any time a real felony happened in Natvig’s county.

    So it is no surprise the ENTIRE law enforcement community….sheriffs…state’s attorneys…etc have lined up behind Jackley.

    “Don’t let the door hit you on your way out.”

    1. Agreed. Take it from an Insider, he has almost 0 support from within his own agency. Trust me, I know firsthand. The Agents Natvig is proud to have gotten rid of, were some of our best leaders and the attorneys that left, were some of our best attorneys.

      1. You act like your afraid of retribution, are you???

        you must have the current people confused with Jackley, kisses butt to everyone and compleyelt ineffective, thanks for supporting SB 70 and only candidate to have a jury verdict against him for retaliation against a Female DCI agent who reported sexual harrassment.. that is our taxpayer money because of Jackley and Gortmaker and the rest of the good old boys you support.

        1. Afraid of retribution? HELL YES. Natvig is one of the most petty men I have ever met.

          1. He also doesn’t know the difference between your and you’re apparently.
