JASON RAVNSBORG DECLARES INTENT TO SEEK NOMINATION FOR SOUTH DAKOTA ATTORNEY GENERAL
Pierre, SD – Jason Ravnsborg of Yankton, South Dakota, declared his intention to seek the Republican nomination for Attorney General of South Dakota at the Hughes County Lincoln Day Dinner Tuesday night.
Jason is a graduate of the University of South Dakota School of Law, where he was also an editor on Law Review, before serving as a law clerk. Today he is a partner in the law firm of Harmelink, Fox & Ravnsborg in Yankton, as well as a Deputy State’s Attorney in Union County. He has handled a wide variety of cases and has won jury and court trials in multiple counties and states.
Jason lead the effort to defeat Amendment T and was equally instrumental in the defeats of Amendment V and Initiated Measure 23, logging hundreds of miles across the state and conducting over fifty presentations on the various ballot issues to interested voters statewide. Additionally he has advised many legislators regarding Initiated Measure 22.
Jason has always been a leader in his endeavors, from the courtroom, to running his office, to his military career. Jason is a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army Reserves. He was recently selected to take command of the 394th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion (CSSB), he assumes that command in April 2017. Jason has had four company commands, each consisting of approximately 180 soldiers, including three deployments to Germany (2003), Iraq (2004-5), and Afghanistan (2009-10). Jason’s leadership, courage, and dedication to duty have earned him the Bronze Star as well as being honored and recognized before Congress.
Jason seeks to earn the support of the people of South Dakota and state, “Let’s Make South Dakota Safe Together!”

Is he saying South Dakota isn’t safe? His last line let’s make SD safe together is kind of a shot at the current AG and state’s attorney’s. Maybe not intentionally but still it does.
I think his last statement is a response to the dramatic increase in violent crime in the state, regardless of what/who is to blame. My opinion-being a conservative and not a leftwinger-is that it is the fault of the people committing the crimes.
My guess is that his slogan is supposed to sound just slightly like President Trump’s Make America Great Again.
If Jason could fly an A-10 Warthog for campaign stops used in early campaign photos for his run for the US Senate with the slogan “Let’s Make South Dakota Safe Together!” It would be one of the best publicity campaigns ever! He could share his stories of how he helped support our US and Allied ground forces piloting his A-10 against Saddam Hussein’s Republican Guard and Terrorist cells in Iraq and use it as a lead in as to how he can keep South Dakotans safe being our AG. I didn’t realize he was a Deputy State’s Attorney in Union County.
Well this race is over and done.
A very part time deputy in Elk Point, SD. Check it out.
This race is Senator Russell’s to lose. Ravnsborg has been running for the AG position since 2014. The cardboard caricature cut-out being pushed can’t stand up to someone with an actual conservative record with bona fides and actual resume of having been a prosecuting attorney, and a native South Dakotan.
actual conservative record? Ravensborg was endorsed for US Senate by that Tea Party organization out of Texas and that Ken Crow guy right? That by itself should show he is a conservative.
Being AG requires good judgment. I don’t think the person responsible for unleashing Lee Stranahan on SD displays any sound political judgment. Jason seems to be on the path of becoming the GOP’s Ron Volesky.
Jason would make an excellent SD Attorney General. He has terrific law credentials, an excellent military record of supporting and protecting our country, a deep love for South Dakota and its people, and a broad range of life experiences. He is a deep thinker, and very articulate. He has traveled extensively across our state in the past couple of years, meeting our citizens, and listening to their concerns. By being able to combine his extensive law experience, his military experience, where he saw many parts of the world and many forces of evil and terror, and his deep knowledge of our South Dakota people, values, laws, concerns, criminal problems, and local law enforcement issues, Jason would make an excellent Attorney General! He will definitely get my vote!
