I’ve had a couple requests to note how some of the other candidates did in fundraising in 2017, and the obvious choice is to compare how the candidates for Attorney General did for fundraising:
AGsforSD_CampaignFinance by Pat Powers on Scribd
Here’s the raw breakdown of how much candidates for the office raised and spent as they started to begin their campaigns:
| Candidate For AG | Raised | Spent | Cash on Hand |
| Fitzgerald | $3,214.00 | $3,214.00 | $0 |
| McGuigan | $6,200.00 | $1,483.24 | $4,717.55 |
| Ravnsborg | $50,201.60 | $8,216.50 | $31,985.10 |
| Russell | $21,195.00 | $7,531.22 | $13,663.78 |
Ravnsborg and Russell spent somewhat similar amounts during the preceding year, but Ravnsborg raised over $50k to Russell’s $21k. The field is rounded out by McGuigan’s $6k raised/$1.4k spent, and Fitzgerald’s $3k/$3k, with over $2700 of it coming out of his own pocket.
Lots of election still left. Keep watching.
WOW!
No cash on hand and none raised by Fitzgerald, in fact he had to spend nearly $3000 of his own money….cue Troy Jones comment, if you can’t raise money your campaign is in serious trouble…..
If you think about it Lora Hubble has more on hand than that! OUCH!
I don’t see the fire in the belly of Fitzgerald.
There are some people that don’t like asking for money. You can easily get your message out without spending a lot of money.
Yeah, like incessantly making a mockery of yourself on social media outlets….
McGuigan should drop out and let Pankratz run. Holy crap he’s not even trying.
The state’s attorneys have two choices. Pick between McGuigan and Fitzgerald or endorse Ravnsborg.
The party will not carry a candidate in the general election. They will need to have a warchest in hand when they get to convention
It sure doesn’t look like Fitzgerald has any support. Maybe he should just drop out.
Maybe Fitz doesn’t beg people for money, that way he doesn’t owe people any favors. He has integrity and character. If he spends his own money maybe he wants it more than anyone.
Reminds me of Trump.
So Marty, Noem, Dusty, Shantel, Ravnsborg, Russell, McGuigan and Barnett are all lacking in character because they will owe favors….and can actually fundraise
Fitzgerald stands alone….(with Hubel I guess) unable to raise any money and he is the only candidate with integrity and character….PLEASE
He should drop out…how insulting to the people actually running a campaign…..
You don’t think Ravnsborg has character? The guy did several tours overseas protecting your liberty. Get a clue Mrs. Fitz!
If he was in the Army protecting freedom qualifications don’t matter.
Just follow the money.
Yes Tara.
Pankratz should run.
I don’t think it’s a matter of begging. I think people don’t support Fitzgerald and don’t think he would make a good attorney general. He has no management or leadership experience and is lacking in many other areas.
Clearly he has little experience managing a budget. ……he does know that he needs to manage a budget as AG….if he can’t manage his own campaign budget why should we give him a larger budget of OUR money as taxpayers……clearly not reassuring to anyone thinking about supporting him…and with numbers that bad why would anyone give him any money going forward? …it will likely feed upon itself…
It’s refreshing not to have big money candidates.
You can’t even call Fitz a low money candidate with no money on hand, let alone a big money candidate.
Who cares how much money you have, is he qualified?
I think people are quietly saying Fitz is not qualified by not supporting him financially.
He may be a great prosecutor, but that is not what the AG does…the AG doesn’t try a lot of cases….that is my issue with him…I don’t think he understands the job he is running for…he seems to want to be a state wide states attorney.
I have not heard of Marty Jackley having one jury trial as AG, and quite frankly he shouldn’t be, he needs to be fighting for resources, leading, working with law enforcement, that is what I want in an AG. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
Frankly, I think Fitz should stay where he is at, he seems to enjoy his current job and doing jury trials and who wants to move to Pierre so late in life anyway?
I have no problem with Fitzgerald having $3k. But McGuigan should be taking plenty of Jackley donors and attorney friends money for support. This looks really bad for McGuigan.
Ravnsborg and Russell and Fitzgerald all look good.
McGuigan is getting hurt by not working delegates, losing sheriff’s and now even worse getting destroyed in the money game where he shouldn’t be struggling. It tells me he doesn’t want to run.
Ravnsborg is proving a lot of people wrong.
How can you be an attorney general when you have never prosecuted. You must be consider Fitz a threat or you would not be trashing him. Ravnsborg would lose his shirt against Randy Seiler. A veteran prosecutor against a man that pretends to be a lawyer, pretends to be a prosecutor (volunteers) but has no cases. Who is actually being dishonest with the people of our state.
Clearly this is Stace Nelson from his prior attacks online…no one was discussing Ravnsborg but you always go to attacking him.
But since you brought him up….to me Ravnsborg is looking stronger all the time, he has the support of law enforcement, has the best fundraising totals and works unbelievably hard and your smear above have been proven untrue before, but keep lying if you say it long enough maybe someone will believe it, but I doubt it….nice try.
Hey, goofball. Jason is a lawyer. Are you? Try something else, twit.
Ravnsborg getting the SDGOP (via this GOP paid for blog) to take potshots at Fitzgerald is a stupid idea. Jason better stay away from debates, Fitzgerald will rip him apart. Speaking of which (getting popcorn) when are the debates?!
Please explain how posting campaign filings is by any stretch of the imagination “taking potshots?”
And while I welcome and appreciate my advertisers, it is most certainly not a “GOP paid for blog.” If you can’t understand that, then it sounds like someone has a persecution complex.
Mcguigan and Fitzgerald have four months to raise 100k if they want to be nominated.
Not gonna happen…
Why contribute to campaigns that already can’t raise money?
They should seriously look at putting their egos aside and dropping out and supporting Ravnsborg because we cannot allow Russell to be the nominee…can you imagine him having Stace Nelson as the head of DCI?
whoever gets the nomination is going to be Attorney General. You won’t need any money, just qualifications.
I totally agree with you Tara. Maybe Brendan Johnson or Aaron McGowan or Sieler could be good Dem candidates but the GOP nominee will likely coast in the general.
With out a doubt. The establishment is revving up Jason, but seriously a dozen doners? Something is not right. I would rather support a self funded candidate.
4×8 signs alone will cost 10k. You really don’t know anything about this.
Those fundraising totals are one more example of how Ravnsborg is the best man for the job and would make the best candidate against the Democrat nominee.
Democrats can’t wait to run against Ravnsborg.
I doubt that….Former AG and Gov Farrar is supporting him and law enforcement is supporting him and he raised the most money. From all objective signs Jason is winning. Plus he is likeable, knowledgeable and the only one talking about the issues that I have seen. He may not be your candidate, but I am supporting him enthusiastically.
I am sure the Democrats would rather run against the guys that can’t raise any money or the guy with ethical problems. I have seen no reason to vote FOR the others, I have plenty of reasons to vote for Jason!
Farrar gives to everyone.
Pankratz would raise $50k in 2 weeks. It might be time for him to jump in the race.
Looking at the report, that is clearly not true. Farrar only gave to Ravnsborg.
How does Jason’s qualifications and experience compare to the other candidates?
Jason has no experience. none
How much has he gotten from pacs?
Tara,
If you click above you can see the reports –but to make it easy here is what each candidate got from PACS as I assumed you meant Jason when you said “he” but you know what they say about assuming
Fitzgerald $0
McGuigan $1,000
Russell $9,748
Ravnsborg $0
Thank you.
12 people?
Tara,
Are you using common core math? 🙂
Ravnsborg has 24 contributors
Lance has 20 contributors
Charlie has 8 contributors
Fitzgerald has 2 contributors
Now that doesn’t even count unitemized contributions, PACs, etc
It is clear to me Jason is the best candidate…look at all the weak attacks….if that is the best that people have he is going to be just fine…and if they were not so threatened by him they wouldn’t attack him but yet they do. He raised the most money and has law enforcement support and what do they have but anonymous attacks….
Keep up the good work Jason!
(it is clear your opponents–well Stace and Mary are jealous and envious; I have seen them teaming up on you for some time)
Did Jason beat Stace and Bosworth in the Senate race?
I like Jason but the big issue I have with him is Lee Stranahan. That is cause for concern. He’s never addressed it and it kind of bothers me that he hired that guy.
Marty has been a good AG and Lee trashed him. I think that should bother people.
And as I’ve finally gotten out of the car after delivering signs, we’ve had enough trash talking.
Support the candidates of your choice, and feel free to say why. But we can do without the trash talking that’s going wildly off topic.
A little civility goes a long way
Save the trash talking for Lora. lol
Tara, At least Lora had more on hand at the end of the year than Fitz! and LaFleur!
It would be nice to add a few more zero’s to that hundred, lol.
Pathetic fundraising by most.
But I go back to this….
How many jury trials has Ravnsborg done? How many major felonies?
How many Supreme Court cases?
How many federal appeals?
How many death penalty cases?
There are lots of veterans and I admire him for that. But just because he wants to be something doesn’t mean he should be. I wanted to play college basketball, but it doesn’t mean I had the ability. I want to be a CEO, but it doesn’t mean I have the experience or qualifications. And that’s Jason’s problem as well – he doesn’t have the experience or qualifications for this job. Nice guy and hard worker but that doesn’t mean he should be Attorney General. Unfortunately the rest of the field apparently doesn’t want to work as hard as they need to to win.
JR works hard. Give him some credit.
That’s because they have full-time jobs.
And Ravnsborg doesn’t?? He is a lawyer full time who seems to be the only candidate putting any effort into this campaign. This is an old pathetic argument Tara, try a little harder with your comments or do us all a favor and don’t make them.
Bill, I like Jason, but this isn’t a popularity contest or who can raise the most money.
Yes, yes it is.
I don’t think so.
Fitz should have at least taken the bar exam. He has to say this before every trial.
He’s a real deal from what I have researched.
Yes right Ivan. His capital murder trials. The trashing of Fitzgerald makes sense when you are the pretend lawyer writing this.
If McGuigan got out of the race in the next 2 weeks Pankratz could raise $50k by March.
Right now Ravnsborg and Russell are men among boys.
They are all good guys but not all great campaigners.
Out of the whole state of SD, I see Jason only got 12 individual contributions. Almost all $4,000 a piece. That’s wierd.
Several of them like the Faulk county mafia are probably likely to join him in Pierre.
Pankratz would have more than 12 donors in a day. It would not be wierd. It would be called trying to win the office he is running for.
Right now Russell and Ravnsborg are the only two who look like they are working hard. Fitzgerald is some. That’s it.
I keep seeing comments about Fitzgerald and his experience as a prosecutor, I never hear anything about any other experience or skills sets. Just because he is a prosecutor, that does not make him qualified for ag office. With his lack of EXPERIENCE in everything else needed to be ag, he is a horrible choice. He would get eaten alive and/or it would be everyone else in the office running things for him. This would make Fitzgerald a puppet at best.
I like Lance Russell, but if he’s going to install that blowhard Stace Nelson as the head of DCI, then that kills any support from me. He needs to publicly separate himself from Nelson’s taint if he wants to be Attorney General.
Naturally that glad-hander Ravnsborg has raised the most money. His full time job is campaigning. The honorary, part-time, volunteer prosecutor gig he puts on his resume doesn’t count.
Ravnsborg is exceeding expectations. That’s all a candidate has to do. Meet or exceed expectations. Russell and Ravnsborg are both doing that. Pankratz would also.
You have to have a fire to run for office. It’s a grind.
12 contributers.
Seriously, keep it on topic, and keep it civil please.
2 words: pan kratz
Put them together and what have you got?
pan + kratz = a real candidate.
Russell looks really good also.
Pankratz
Noun
• a person or thing that wins something.
synonyms: victor, champion, conqueror, vanquisher, hero, winner
The Last Pierre Hope.
Pankratz isn’t going to run…Marty is still the leader of the office, all he needs is another person working for him out campaigning….I can hear the Democrats now about that…..the big prize is still the Governor’s office, not AG. FOCUS PEOPLE!
Pankratz would be formidable.
He’s a former Hamlin County state’s attorney. Even Kristi Noem would support the Pankratz.
Say it a couple times and see how you like it.
It sounds better than Ravensborg.
That is a bird crossed with a terminator.
Hey, that’s great….
A group of attorneys has been gathering information about the candidates for Attorney General for some time and has made an analysis. We have tried to be as objective as possible, but some surprising things were found and pointed out. I cannot take all the credit for this, so instead of using the handle the Researcher, I am giving credit to others and calling us the Research Group.
We have included educational information, legal background, electoral background, leadership and management positions and ethical issues. If we could find a web source we have included it.
There are some misconceptions about the job of Attorney General. As the state’s chief legal officer, the Attorney General has three major duties: help local and state law enforcement officials fight crime, represent state officials in legal manners and enforce consumer protection laws. We developed areas of expertise from this and put a CHECK in categories where it was shown they had even minimum experience and did not weight categorical experience.
Aspects such as support from law enforcement and states attorneys, or money raised were not considered in this review.
We intend to do an analysis of Mr. Seiler, but as he recently entered the race, it is not completed.
Candidates are listed in alphabetical order to not give preference to one or the other. You can agree or disagree with our analysis, that is fine we can take it, but we stand by it and I am sure it will further more discussion. We hope you find it helpful.
WOW this is some great stuff. Thank you for all your hard work, still reading…
John Fitzgerald
John Fitzgerald is 62 years old and a resident of Lawrence County. He graduated from Black Hills State in 1977, graduated USD law school in 1979, and was granted the diploma privilege. He has been an active South Dakota attorney since 1980. No other state licenses were found.
He was elected Butte County States Attorney in 1980, an office for which he was re-elected every 4 years until he left that job to become the Lawrence County States Attorney in 1995. He was re-elected every 4 years and his last election was in 2016.
From what we could find he ran unopposed in most of these elections. In 2016, he won re-election against an Independent challenger with approx. 64% of the vote.
While Lawrence County States Attorney, John previously ran for Attorney General in 2002 and was defeated at the convention by Larry Long, who went on to become Attorney General.
While Lawrence County States Attorney, John ran for Circuit Court Judge in the 4th Judicial Circuit against Jerome Eckrich. Fitzgerald lost with 45.17% of the vote. Eckrich took all 8 counties in the Circuit, which included Butte, Corson, Dewey, Harding, Lawrence, Meade, Perkins and Ziebach. See, link below.
https://sdsos.gov/elections-voting/election-resources/election-history/2006/2006_general_election_official_returns_circuit_court.aspx
Fitzgerald has an extensive caseload of criminal prosecutions. Fitzgerald’s campaign claims that he has done 250 jury trials, but recently claimed the number was over 300. We were unable to verify this as many records are not on-line. In either case, he has extensive criminal prosecution experience. He has handled Murder, Rape, Child Sexual Contact, Aggravated Assault, Drugs cases among other crimes. No criminal defense cases were found.
He was named prosecutor of the year in 2012 by the States Attorney Association and is that organizations current Vice-President.
No federal court cases were found, with the exception of one in which John Fitzgerald was the Defendant in his official capacity as a States Attorney, but none where he was the attorney. It appears to be an unusual situation where someone stole some money and then filed bankruptcy seeking to avoid criminal liability.
No recent civil cases were found, outside of his work as a Child Support Enforcement Attorney, prior to 2002.
No ethical issues were found.
He is the current Lawrence County Committeeman and has been the past Butte County GOP Chair & Lawrence County GOP Vice-Chair. We could not find what years he had those offices, but were able to verify he held them.
It appears John has managed an office of 1-3 Deputy States Attorneys and 1-3 staff through the years.

Looks to be a strong prosecutor, but lacking in other areas for the job of AG.
That along with his lack of fundraising ability makes me wonder why he is still in the race.
Still hard to believe he raised less than $500.
Charles “Charlie” McGuigan.
Charlie McGuigan is 51 years old and a resident of Hughes County.
McGuigan graduated from USD with a BS in History in 1988 and the University of Montana Law School in 1991. He then passed the SD Bar exam. No other state licenses were found.
He has worked in various positions in the SD Attorney General office throughout his career, with the exception of when he was the Legal Director of the Western Attorney Generals Association from October 2006 through December 2007.
He has been Chief Deputy Attorney General since November 2007.
We were surprised to find that Charlie only has eight cases with his name on it since 1996. He has zero open case files and only one case since 2012, that case began in 2016 and is completed. His eight cases are a mix of civil and criminal.
No prior party or elected offices.
No federal court cases were found.
No ethical issues were found.
Charlie has managed the office of approximately 38 attorneys plus staff as the Chief Deputy.
He has received a couple of awards from the Conference of Western Attorney Generals.

Charlie seems to be the opposite of Fitzgerald in some respects, he can manage the office, but EIGHT cases, that is almost as shocking as Fitzgerald’s low fundraising numbers.
But Charlie’s fundraising numbers are not that much better either, but at least he did not have to spend as much of his own money, but I see he still had to spend some.
Jason Ravnsborg
Jason Ravnsborg is 41 years old and a resident of Yankton. He graduated from the University of South Dakota with a BS in History and Political Science in 1998, and graduated with a Masters of Arts in History and law degree in 2001 from USD.

Looks to be the front runner to me.
He has the majority of Sheriffs, best fundraising numbers and looks to be the best well rounded candidate for Attorney General.
What i like also is that he is a tireless worker. he will serve us well.
Fitz did child support enforcement and was a Special Asst Attorney General for about 20 years. He did 5 counties and these are all civil litigation. He has an enormous amount of civil actions through his duties as a Special AG. I was affiliated with this function in my official capacity so I know it’s correct.
‘Union County resident,’ if you’re going to post under a name, please stick with it. And don’t get snippy if something gets kicked into the spam filter. I’ll get to it.
It is clear “union county resident” is just Mary Fitzgerald. Under Union County resident all she did was trash this Ravnsborg guy ( and many other members of the legal community) but then Praises Fitzgerald with specific information when he lives across the state about events nearly 20 years ago… but of course did that anonymously in an effort to throw us all off. I agree with some earlier posters talk about dirty politics and Despicable.
Not only is their campaign bankrupt looks like they are morally also! I’ll be looking at the other three candidates but not them.
Lance Russell
Lance Russel is a 48 years old resident of Fall River County.
Russell graduated from Black Hills State with a BS in 1992, graduated with Masters of Arts and from USD Law in 1999 and passed the SD bar exam. He has an LLM (An LLM is a Legal Masters) from the University of Denver focusing on Environmental Law.
He clerked for a judge and then was Deputy States Attorney in 2000 for fellow candidate John Fitzgerald in Lawrence County.
He was elected as Fall River States Attorney in 2000 with approximately 60% in the primary and no general election opponent and reelected in 2004 without opposition. He also covered Shannon (now Oglala Lakota) County
In 2006, he ran for Circuit Court Judge in the 7th Circuit and lost to AP Fuller with 44.59%, he won Custer County, but lost Fall River, Pennington, Shannon (now Oglala Lakota) See link below.
https://sdsos.gov/elections-voting/election-resources/election-history/2006/2006_general_election_official_returns_circuit_court.aspx
Interesting I did not know he worked for Fitzgerald or ran for Circuit Court judge
Lance Russell continued (because of number of outside links)
He was elected to the State House (from District 30) in 2008, finishing 2 of 4 and receiving approximately 30% of the vote.
In 2010, Lance was reelected finishing 2 of 3 and getting approximately 34.5%
In 2011, he was publicly censured for his activities as States Attorney. Posted below without comment
http://caselaw.findlaw.com/sd-supreme-court/1564780.html
They were kind not to take some of the sentences from that Supreme Court opinion…OUCH
I do not see why this guy is running for Attorney General with this decision in his record…
Lance Russell Continued
He was also banned from the State House Republican Caucus in 2012. See link below.
http://rapidcityjournal.com/news/two-state-republican-lawmakers-banned-from-party-caucus/article_8edc5106-4907-11e1-b995-0019bb2963f4.html
In 2012, Russell was reelected to the State House and was unopposed in the general election
In 2014, he was reelected with approximately 36.5% in the general election.
In 2016, Lance Russell defeated incumbent State Senator Bruce Rampelberg
in the primary with approximately 59% of the vote; and won the general election with 71% of the vote.
He looks to have run an office either publicly or privately of 1-2 staff and 1 deputy states attorney.
We were surprised to find that Russell has had only ten cases in state court since 2012, two of which are active cases, and are a mix of civil and criminal defense cases.
No federal cases were found.

Russell being “publicly censured” is grave concern to me, makes wonder who his allegiance would be to and what he would be willing to do in the AG office. We don’t need unethical people in public office. Seems to me it would be better if Russell dropped out.
I think just the opposite. Russell will go after unethical people. exmp. Gear-Up.
His fundraising numbers are even more surprising in light of all these ethics concerns, banned from the caucus?! even though most of the story talks about Stace Nelson.
I can’t imagine a world where Lance is AG and Stace is the head of DCI.
I thank the research group as it gives good summary info on the candidates. Again, like all positions, the GOP has an abundance of talent.
I also thank them as it should discourage a certain always dishonest and cowardly anonymous poster who disparages Ravnsborgs legal and military experience. This poster also has a similar derangement syndrome against the Governor, Senator Rounds, and others.
So Jason does bankruptcy, that’s his gig. Not really legal work that requires much skill. Bankrruptcy work can be done by a good legal secretary. By the way check with Union County, he has no cases. Do your homework Research Group. Also check who is really backing Jason, it’s interesting. Can’t wait for the debates. Jason once said people are in prison for having a joint. Art Rusch is on his website and Art is not in favor of the death penalty. Check the facts. This man is not who he claims to be.
@ Stace Nelson, I mean Union Country Resident. It seams like you take hearsay and innuendo to attach Ravnsborg personally. Is there a reason you are so anti-Ravnsborg on all the blogs? I propose you and he have a debate, as you requested, as I suspect he is way more knowledgeable than you are on the issues based off all the speaking advents he has with multiple groups.
How insulting on so many levels to other members of the bar community, a state senator and a former judge, etc.. and all of us for the time we wasted reading your dribble…..I agree with Pat…the more Ravnsborg does the more you just lie and make stuff up…
Yeah lets attack the guy with hundreds of cases vs 2 candidates that don’t have 20 together in years. the other day he was a fraud because he didn’t have any cases…now he has hundreds and they complain about that….you will never be satisfied because you want your person in there.
Let us review. just what i have seen on the blog here.
First, they said he wasn’t even an attorney–proven WRONG
Second, they said he was never a prosecutor–proven WRONG
Third, he had no support with law enforcement–Proven WRONG
Fourth, he couldn’t raise money–proven WRONG
Fifth, he never worked in federal court cases–proven WRONG
Sixth, they have attacked his military record–you know everyone gets a bronze star and he is just a weekend warrior type BS–that is WRONG on so many levels.
and I am sure i missed a couple other lies and half truth by these anonymous posters who only have the guts to put their names on their comments on the liberal blog and not here like Mary Fitzgerald and Stace Nelson praising Cory Heidelberger. Despicable. Talk about “dirty politics”.
I can see why good people don’t want to run for office anymore.
Here is what it comes down to for me. The other campaigns are losing and are desperate to tear him down, no matter how many facts are shown they will just keep lying. Don’t believe them I won’t. I anticipate there will be more fake polls, fake comments, and all around fake news before it is over.
You have done something with your posts though, driven me to support Jason and I will be watching to defend him from here on out!! I have had enough of your lies.
Jason so a tea partier when he ran for Senate, then he sold out to the establishment.
Bankruptcy is a component of civil law no less difficult than estate, tax, banking/finance, commercial, insurance, etc. While some personal bankruptcies are “non-complex” and routine, anyone who thinks it is just for legal secretaries doesn’t have a clue and should be ignored on anything he says- which is the case and he doesn’t even sign his name.
I still am shocked at the lack of fund raising by Fitzgerald. Does he know this is a campaign?
It really isn’t, it’s just a convention to pick the next AG.
You wouldn’t know anything about a Republican Convention, Tara.
Sorry Tara, it is a campaign and one needs money to run a campaign to be successful. It says a lot when a candidate does not get any money. Fitzgerald is the only one out of the three that did not raise any money.
