Dusty Johnson is holding a BIG fundraiser in Sioux Falls in 2 weeks for his bid for Congress.
Are there any residents of Sioux Falls who are not on this list? We’ve got Legislators, former Legislators, businessmen, a former Democrat PUC member, a cabinet member, etcetera and so on. Seriously, counting husbands, wives and individuals, there’s close to 90 hosts for the event.
Wednesday March 22, from 5-6:30 PM at the Prairie Berry East Bank, at 322 East 8th Street in Sioux Falls. (If you’re going, send me pictures).
Whoa. Talk about throwing down the gauntlet. Hard to see where Shantel would get enough financial support given the cross-section this list represents.
I think Daaugard likes him. I’ll wait…
My impression is that Dusty was the one who kept Daugaard on a conservative track in his first term. Things went leftward after he left. That gives me reassurance about Dusty actually.
He should quickly affirm that !
Hard to say. Is Dusty a good guy? Sure he is. Is he too willing to buddy up to the establishment? You bet.
I’ve voted for him twice before. He made me happy in his first term in the PUC. But that was PUC. I really don’t know his positions on a host of issues outside of that he is a Republican. He doesn’t have issues on his website either so all I can go off of is assumptions. PUC and Congress are different animals. There are some people who I support for County Commission that I would never send to the legislature. I still like them even if they can’t have my vote.
Yes, I’m eager for more substance.
He’s a great fundraiser, campaigner & organizer but what about values and stances on the issues? Ideas still win elections.
What about stances winning? Three words: third place Stace.
Very good point. Dusty never really has had to articulate his stance on most of the issues. I think a lot of folks are just supporting him based on the fact that he’s a hardworker and they like him personally
Might be as impressive of a host list as I’ve ever seen.
Yet not a Jones, Abdullah, Kirby or Hoffman on the list….. LOL the primary is 14 months away.
That is simply incredible.
Wow, that is an impressive list of supporters!
The same old people, blah boring, status quo people. More of the same.
Shantel is now wetting herself for being so far behind and is announcing run for Congress soon. Yawn. She’s a big RINO
Sioux Falls is supposedly Shantel’s strong area. This is a great host list for Dusty.
With that many hosts one could probably never get to the front of the chow and beverage line. Mr. Dusty can talk yappidly fast and could probably chat with all comers but golly if a fellow has to politely dance with that entire list of hosts even if you made it to the chocolate fountain you’d never have time to eat the marshmallow.
Dusty has the Daugaard administration around his neck and is going to be hard pressed to shake it with the activist base.
Senator Nelson’s stance and his 3rd place showing against our former well-funded governor and former majority leader Rhoden, were related. To us politicos who paid attention, Rounds and Rhoden ran to the right and tried to claim to be conservative as Nelson. So, stance does matter in the GOP. The question is, can Dusty & Shantel convince the voters they are and they aren’t Daugaard 2.0.
