Toby Doeden is out in the field again this week with his text message polling asking if people like him or hate him, and who they might vote for if he was in the race for Governor:
Interesting that he’s dropped Marty from the field.. and not himself or Jon Hansen. And there’s no word on whether he’s broken 4% in his own polling.
Elsewhere on the topic, Dakota Scout has the state’s biggest “No sh*t Sherlock” story today, and noted there are reports that Doeden is to “announce his gubernatorial campaign next week.”
We will see how long that lasts, after last year’s entrance into congressional exploring abruptly vanished when this website noted that he had never voted in a Republican Primary before.
So, of course, now that he has voted in one primary election, that means he’s qualified to seek the Republican nomination for governor. Right?
Jackley is the best candidate so it’s wierd that he’d drop him. Unless he wants to see who Jackley’s support goes to.
A question needs to be asked if candidate Toby Doeden will follow President Trump’s lead and offer South Dakota to be first state to be a refugee sanctuary for White Afrikaner’s who have fled South Africa? This could be an opportunity in gaining President Trump’s endorsement.
Just a reminder that the South Dakota Legislature passed this year a bill declaring no sanctuary cities.(SB7)
He tries to do that, that’s a direct violation of South Dakota law
Candidate Toby Doeden can get around it to help these new special refugees according to the Trump administration provide incentives to relocate to South Dakota and really promote it. President Trump would most likely be enthusiastic about those opportunities and reciprocate to candidate for Governor Toby Doeden. The original question needs to asked of Toby Doeden which would further distinguish him from the other candidates. A President Donald J. Trump endorsement for Toby Doeden as our next Governor would have a major impact on the race.
So you want Doden to promise to break our laws to gain an endorsement from Trump?
Great strategy. You’re thinking just like the rest of the ultra right wing whacks.
objecting to somebody’s TPS because of their skin color is as racist as one can get
The Doeden opinion poll needs a new option, “Don’t give a s***, he’s irrelevant.”
Toby’s big announcement is May 28th in Aberdeen. He’s expecting a huge crowd. Over 1000 attendees according to him.
Can’t wait to hear all about it. Lol.
I’m sure all the District 3 clown will be there. Perry, Schaefbauer, and Eddie Munster Manhart
Less than 250 showed up lol
My question is if he does announce he’s running for Governor, will he have his choice for Lt. Gov with him?
Who do you think would be his running mate?
My choice is Kevin Jensen from Canton.
Spencer Gosch
Equally infamous Phil Jensen to balance out the ticket covering East and West River
If Jackley doesn’t run i think Rhoden could win.
Since the story broke with the online comments in the Aberdeen Insider, Aberdeen community FB pages and Scout one race may be won. It stirred up a hornets nest again.
2026 Most UN-liked person in Aberdeen
1st Place Toby Doeden by a wide margin.
2026 Most UN-liked person in South Dakota
1st place: Toby Doeden
interesting that he is staging his big announcement for Wednesday, which is traditionally Church Night in South Dakota. Tuesday is Politics Night. (Monday is for things like board meetings, Thursday is Family Night, Friday is High School Activities Night)
Anyway, Maybe it’s not an announcement, it’s a divine revelation.
Plenty of cancellations but some are going for the free food, entertainment and see if there are new supporters they can shun since Doeden is toxic up there.
If attendance is poor, he can attribute it to his base being at their Bible Study/Religious Ed/ Vestry/Church Council meetings instead.
It’s going to be like a Toby Doeden “coming out” party in more ways than one.
