From the Daily Kos Morning Digest, it appears that national Democrats have already written off Paula Hawks as a nonstarter.
• SD-AL: Democrats landed state Rep. Paula Hawks for a longshot bid against Republican Kristi Noem, but we can probably take our eyes off this seat. Hawks raised only $62,000 for the quarter, and she trails Noem $1,345,000 to $65,000 in cash on hand. Noem hasn’t done much to anger her conservative constituents, and it’s very tough to see this district going blue again anytime soon.
I doubt anyone is surprised with this. The SD Dem Party just isn’t taken seriously anymore. When Does Hawks legislative seat expire? She may want to try and keep it or she could become a lobbyist for the FSST.
what is FSST?
Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe & their new lounge/grow operation
Lets not be complacent though! We need to beat Ms.Hawks and REELECT KRISTI NOEM!
If anything it will be great for fundraising!
You’re right, we should become complacent. even without a challenger she should run a campaign, and be ready to take on anyone
Too bad those who were or are still Dems can’t just start another party and build it since they won’t have anything to do with those goofballs that have damaged it so bad.
Hey Pat, this is off topic (or maybe a tangent). How about a post on bacon making the carcinogen list? I thought getting rid of pork was just a political metaphor. Is this gonna be a thing?
Yeah, I was thinking of doing one on that. I can’t imagine that’s going to be tolerated.
mmmmm… Bacon.
Is it too late for a conservative to challenge Noem in the primary? She’s a leadership lapdog and needs to go.
Do you have someone in mind?
