From the Dakota Scout comes a story that an e-mailed invite has gone out for what is allegedly an announcement event out in Rapid City next week. (I’m guessing they must have forgotten my e-mail address – pp):
While Rhoden’s campaign will not confirm or deny that a decision has been made about the governor’s political future beyond 2026, multiple sources of The Dakota Scout have confirmed Rhoden will enter the race. His campaign on Tuesday also began circulating a digital invitation to a political event where he’s set to share his plans — a run for governor.
“Join Governor Larry Rhoden as he makes a special announcement about his plans to keep South Dakota strong, safe, and free,” reads the otherwise nondescript listing for the Nov. 18 event.

I have a feeling he’s gonna be our Governor for quite awhile.

The right man for the job is already doing the job, thats a rare thing in today’s politics.
As long as nothing happens during his naptime.
That’s a long time, how do we guarantee nothing happens then? Maybe we should ask Joe Biden’s staff what worked well for them.
Hey now. If you want to pick on naps, you should dog up grudznick for being old and enjoying naps, and Mr. Kloucek who is young enough but chose to sleep through much of his time in the legislatures. The Messrs. Bradford, Petersen, G, and Ahlers, D were also prolific nappers in the legislatures. Other than Kloucek, those other fellows did some good thinking during naps.
This is hilarious … donors, be smart, and don’t encourage him. We don’t need a mediocre version of Biden leading our state.
Anyone associated with KKKristi I will not vote for
Does Congressman Johnson fit that category? How many functions have they done over the past few years?
Yes
All hat no cattle!
All belt, no buckle.
