SAINT ONGE, S.D. — John Fitzgerald announced today that he has received the endorsements of Minnehaha County Sheriff Mike Milstead and Pennington County Sheriff Brian Mueller in his campaign for South Dakota Attorney General.
Sheriff Milstead and Sheriff Mueller lead law enforcement agencies in South Dakota’s two most populous counties and bring decades of experience in public safety and criminal justice. Their support reflects confidence among law enforcement professionals in Fitzgerald’s candidacy and his commitment to protecting South Dakota communities.
“I am honored to have the endorsement of Sheriff Mike Milstead and Sheriff Brian Mueller,” Fitzgerald said. “Both men are highly respected leaders in law enforcement who have dedicated their careers to keeping South Dakotans safe. They understand the challenges facing law enforcement, prosecutors, and victims of crime. Their support means a great deal to me.”
Fitzgerald noted that endorsements from the sheriffs of South Dakota’s two largest jurisdictions reflect confidence in his experience, judgment, and ability to serve as the state’s chief prosecutor in the fight against crime.
“When the elected sheriffs responsible for protecting the largest populations in South Dakota place their trust in your leadership, it sends a strong message,” Fitzgerald said. “I believe these endorsements reflect my experience as a prosecutor, judge, and public servant, and my commitment to enforcing the rule of law, supporting victims, and working closely with law enforcement agencies across our state.”
Fitzgerald is seeking the Republican nomination for South Dakota Attorney General and has emphasized combating violent crime, supporting law enforcement, protecting victims, and ensuring accountability throughout the criminal justice system.
