Still a lot to go in Minnehaha Treasurer’s race – but these margins are massive for what’s been tabulated so far. This has the appearance of being a very, very bad night for Sioux Falls City Councilor Patrick Starr. He’s behind by more votes than he’s received – a nearly 9000 vote gap.
It will likely tighten up, but this might be too much to come back from. And Kris Swanson may have already walked away with the win.
I spent more time watching Starr touch his mask and try to convince the city council a mask mandate is needed. Looks like his attempt to control residents may of had some impact on his campaign.
I agree. Councilors are free to lay down on any sword they want, including this one.
This one surprises me. The only name I have seen is Starr. I saw television advertisements and yard signs with his name. I knew there was someone else running, but I could not remember who it was. I looked up the race and then remembered. For as little as Kris Swanson’s name has been about, I am amazed she won and won this big. Congrats.
You need to listen to KELO radio; she had been advertising pretty heavily. Also, know what Pat Starr stands for made the choice even easier in this one: Swanson all the way.
I wonder if she will hire people that have experience in that field or just people she knows like Nelson did. I don’t think an HR department should make a decision then give it to the Treasurer. It isn’t a fair chance.
