South Dakota Democrats had a heavier burn rate on the federal side this month, but unlike South Dakota Republicans, they raised more than zero, according to the latest FEC report from the South Dakota Democrat Party:
SDDP December FEC 2025 by Pat Powers
SDDP reports $35,844.96 raised, against $46,476.97 spent. But when you have a pile of cash in the bank, it’s NBD. And they were left with $53,968.47 to take them into the new year.
It’s less that they’re running with $20k more than the GOP in the federal account – and more that they’re running with 50 PAGES OF REGULAR DONORS in their report – something the Jim Eschenbaum’s version of the SDGOP sorely lacks as we end the “off year.”
The world is ran by those who show up.
Stay tuned.

in fairness to Jim, the seeds of this problem were sown at the state convention in ’22, when almost half the delegates stood up to be counted in opposition to the official slate of Republican candidates..
Those same insane delegates have now managed to take over the party, and it is well understood that money donated to the party is quite likely to be used to fund opposition candidates in the primaries, with nothing left over for the general..
Under the circumstances, nobody is going to give them any money. ,
Mr. Jim Eschenbaum is a laughing stock. Any who do not heed grudznick’s words here may no longer use the words “conservative” or “common sense” without a severe mocking and verbal beating about the head and shoulders. The Opening Rant at tomorrows Conservatives with Common Sense breakfasting will elaborate. Be there. Special guest speaker, too.
