Notices of “not-running for that” starting to filter out.

@SoDakCampaigns

Hearing some updates on the 2026 races.. less that people are running statewide, and more that they’re going to sit the 2026 statewide contests out.

#1 – Amber Hulse to remain in the Senate, pass on statewide office.  Early on, the word was Amber was looking strongly at the Congressional race, and once Marty got in, there were rumors that she might be thinking about one of the undercard contests.  This weekend, I’m hearing that Amber is telling people that she’s running for re-election to her current seat in the South Dakota State Senate.

#2 – Leah Anderson announced she’s running for re-election to Minnehaha County Auditor. My same source tell me that Leah Anderson, South Dakota’s most conspiratorial minded County Auditor, is not going to be running for SOS, but will be trying to return to her current job. (Sorry for the headache, Joe!)  I would guess she’s taking a pass, so she can continue to study CIA involvement in election results.

#3 – I am hearing from multiple sources that the race for State Treasurer is wide open again, as Deputy Treasurer Jason Williams has pulled back from a run for the office that his boss is term limited from.

Stay tuned, because there’s more to come!

  2. Your source was someone at the GOP Pheasant Hunt, wasn’t it? lol. I like Hulse staying for Senate, especially if it keeps Frye-Mueller from coming back in. Don’t know if I would county Jason out for statewide office just yet. I think he would be great.

  3. What is going on with Jason, he was going to announce at the Brown Co LDD then hours before didn’t. He would win and would be great, if he could stick the landing on his announcement.
