$891,088.63 raised. $199,200.82 spent. $969,539.28 cash on hand. Congressman Dusty Johnson, in his pursuit of becoming South Dakota’s next Governor, isn’t messing around. And in one of the first reports posted for the year end 2025 state reports, Johnson’s political action committee may be dwarfing some of his competitors in what the side committee reports raising, versus their main committees.
I would venture this will blow the doors off of what Toby Doeden is able to raise, since he’s self-funding. And the most unlikeable candidate ever to run for office. And the PAC coming in with nearly a million is likely to dwarf what Jon Hansen pulled out of Pizza Ranch, unless Karla Lems starts selling some land. Governor Rhoden might be the most competitive, but getting into the race later than expected might have his fundraising lagging in the contest, but we’ll see.
Nearly 1 million cash on hand in this side PAC, with well over 2/3 coming from South Dakotans. That’s a pretty strong report.
Very impressive!
Toby Doeden is the most unlikeable? I think Hansen makes that an actual contest. Most folks already know and don’t like Toby, many haven’t gotten the chance to know Jon, so he just hasn’t put them off…yet.
Hey what about Karla? She might be short but still can look down on you.
What about Karla? Lol, I don’t know why Hansen went to the effort of announcing hit Lt. pick so early when she has far less name recognition than him, less political experience than him, and doesn’t do anything to expand his base. She’s as integral to the Hansen campaign as an appendix is to a cadaver.
