One candidate is endorsed by Governor, another endorsed by randoms.

@SoDakCampaigns

If you recall, a day or so ago, District 2 House candidate Jake Schoenbeck released a nice endorsement from Governor Kristi Noem that will likely be appearing in mailboxes:

And yesterday, his fellow District 2 House Candidate John Sjaarda mailed out a different postcard, touting the endorsement of a number of politicians that have little or nothing to do with his district:

I’m not sure what the common thread is here. Most of the House members endorsing him opposed impeachment, although Sjaarda claimed ignorance when asked about it by the Argus.  Although I do see Aylward voted in favor of it.   So, that’s not it.

A couple of them used to represent a small portion of what is now District 2. But… not the others?

Kind of a head scratcher.

You know, the Governor supporting an up and coming candidate is one thing, considering she’s the most popular Republican in South Dakota among Republican voters. Just not seeing that Tom Pischke or Rhonda Milstead are going to compel a similar sense of “we need this guy.”

Endorsed by randoms.

  2. 3 of them represented over 30% of District 2 (formerly) District 25. Personally when those three win by the margins they did and than endorse a potential replacement of their former district, I feel that as a positive!

  3. An up and coming candidate? LMAO! He’s a last name only with the life experience of a newt. Have you no shame Pat?

  5. Wow, a Koch bro’s candidate (AFP) vs a Noem candidate (MAGA). So many big decisions that will surely represent US!

        1. About as fake as your voter registration and commitment to South Dakota. SAD!!

  6. Lee has been steadfastly loyal to Noem. This is his reward, a golden ticket for his son. The establishment helps one another.

    1. I can’t wait for the establishment to help me. I am the establishment. I made the establishment.

  7. If one puts out campaign literature with a picture of him/herself and Kristi Noem, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s an endorsement from her. It’s possible they took it upon themselves to make it appear that way. It’s happened. So, take those with a grain of salt, just sayin’.
