More on Roetman ED Job; Roetman plans on continuing to divide GOP in South Dakota

@SoDakCampaigns

The Dakota Scout did a story after my post on The Minnehaha’s GOP ex-chair Dave Roetman taking a job as the Executive Director in North Dakota.

Apparently Roetman plans to continue his prior work of factionalizing the South Dakota Republican Party while he’s working up in the colder, unfriendlier Dakota:

An Iowa native, Roetman has been a key player in the South Dakota GOP in recent years, helping non-establishment Republicans gain a foothold within the party and the South Dakota Legislature. He was also paramount in South Dakota Secretary of State Monae Johnson’s upset of former Secretary of State Steve Barnett, who failed to secure the party nomination for reelection in 2022, which sent shockwaves through the state party and served as a precursor to the ouster of former South Dakota GOP chairman Dan Lederman.

and..

Roetman told The Dakota Scout Monday morning that while he’s moving to North Dakota, he intends to maintain a home in Sioux Falls and will remain involved on the periphery of politics in the Mount Rushmore State.

“I will still keep a hand in South Dakota politics, but I expect this to be a two-year gig,” he said.

Read the entire story here.

Not sure if Joe Sneve fell off his motorcycle and bumped his head, because neither Monae Johnson winning at convention, nor party divisions had anything to do whatsoever with Dan Lederman deciding not to run again. (Nevermind he had one of the longest GOP chair tenures in recent decades).

But aside from that, the more interesting thing in the story is that Roetman announced his intent is to continue to stay involved in politics in SD. Which as of late was sowing the seeds of division within the GOP and trying to knock out incumbent officeholders.

So the Executive Director of the North Dakota Republican Party is promising to continue to try to knock out South Dakota Republican elected officials?

We’ll see how that turns out for him.

  1. The Overton Window shifted and new information implicated existing leadership’s abilities as suspect.

    From 2018 to present, more information is being uncovered validating what were thought to be conspiracy theories.

    The trick is remaining peaceful at the moment of discovery of such horrendous, seemingly unbelievable things, and tropes will have to backstop until the words are found to properly express the rage and invoke a fair peaceful legal process to completion.

    I hear “[how dare they]” a lot.

  2. Roetman….leading the way of chaos and disruption in the republican party, until the democrats win……the MAGA plan, eat your young and see what happens.
