Republican Michael Dupic reached out today and sent me a note, wanting to get the word out about his candidacy for the District 10 Senate seat against Senate Minority Leader Liz Larson as he launches his campaign in the coming days:
My name is Michael Dupic. I am a registered Republican. I am seeking the Republican nomination for the SD Senate in District 10 next year. I confirmed with SOS office that my statement of organization papers have been received.
I’m ultimately running to unseat Senate Minority leader Liz Larson. I want to run on expanding economic opportunities, criminal justice reform, and government accountability etc. I want to run a campaign to attract a winning coalition of voters including Republicans, Independents, and Conservative Democrats.
I am a longtime Sioux Falls resident and local entrepreneur. I know it will not be easy to defeat a sitting Senate Minority leader, however I’m going to give it my best chance!
Please go check out Michael’s facebook page, and watch this space for future coverage.
Thank You! I appreciate it! Any interested parties can also feel free to contact me directly at MikeDupic@gmail.com
Mike, I don’t know you, but your 3 campaign topics above are spot on and what we need more of in Pierre. I also very much like seeing that you want to work with republicans, independents, and conservative democrats. The current far right mantra in Pierre of burn it down if they don’t agree 100% with me needs to go. I will be reaching out in the coming weeks and hope we can work together. Keep up the good work.
