  1. Just vote no on Kremlin Kaiser Brown County!
    He’s the definition of corruption and little man disease and everything that implies. No thanks!

    And what’s with this press release? Is it written like he’s being appointed? I’m sure fellow small man bestie, Commissioner Drew Dennert, would love to appoint him to do more of his dirty work as sheriff!

    Just vote no!

  2. I worked with this egomaniac in the legislature. He will bastardize rules, regulations, even constitutional principles if there’s something in it for himself personally. Stay far away from this guy; he lacks basic morals and is barren of public ethics.

    Case in point… he and his wife ripped off the state of SD for, what, 1M? just a few years back??

    “Kremlin Kaiser” is a spot-on label for this guy. He is dangerous – at ANY level of power or community leadership. Brown County… beware.

    And his word-salad press release reads like it was written by a 7 yr-old.

  3. Why do we get the feeling Brown County Sheriff Lunzman has long been unfairly targeted with attacks by this group with the goal of setting up Kaiser to be Brown County Sheriff? Kaiser lost this race before. This particular group wants complete power in Brown County.
