DRURY ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR DISTRICT 34 HOUSE
RAPID CITY, SD – Today, Representative Becky Drury announced her intention to seek election to the South Dakota House in District 34, where she hopes to continue her service to the Rapid City community. She has previously served on the Rapid City Council and currently serves in the South Dakota House in District 32. Drury brings experience, integrity, and a fighting spirit to continue to represent the Rapid City area community.
During her time in the legislature serving District 32, Drury delivered several solutions for Rapid City. She brought legislation to protect child victims of abuse, expand transparency in local government, alleviate workforce shortages, and support teachers. With a reputation for honesty and integrity, Drury goes to great lengths to bring meaningful change to the Rapid City community.
“The Rapid City community isn’t just made up of Wards and Districts – it’s families, schools, and a vibrant community. When I represent you in Pierre, I am always thinking about the community as a whole. During my first campaign 7 years ago I consistently said ‘I Love Rapid City!’. That’s still true, and I’m still saying it. I look forward to earning the support of District 34, and bringing that same love of our great community back to Pierre once again” Drury said in a statement.
What about Jess Olson?
Will she resign from her seat in District 32 once she establishes residency in District 34?
looking at the gerrymander from last year, i still can’t quite figure out why rapid city’s legislative districts are so wildly different than the regular wards. it looks like the intent was to destroy the contiguity of district 32. its amazing to me to be in the southernmost part of town, be in district 33, and be in the same legislative voting area as my kid living on the northern outskirts of rc. sheesh. politics.
The district numbered 33 is a fine one, Ms. enquirer, and you should be glad you don’t live a bit further south and in the district numbered 30, the insanest of them all.
i look longingly at homes still in dist.32, ms grudznik, and envy the people inside. their vote and mine can’t achieve things together any more. i and they can’t choose a representative from among us, for us, like the good mrs drury any more. sigh. the first time i gazed at a ballot with phil jensen’s name on it was not a good day. he’s not my neighbor.
also, with more people like me in dist.30, only a few more, tim goodwin would have unquestionably won his primary against the current senator.
GRUDZNIK i think you helped me see the d33 dirt moat for what it is – without it, a conventional realignment would have tilted d30 IN A NEW DIRECTION. can’t have THAT happen lol … thank you my friend.
HOw can Drury file papers saying she lives in that district while representing a different one?
That’s a good question for the sos or ag.
