Gov. Noem to Campaign with Tulsi Gabbard in Rapid City and Sioux Falls

 RAPID CITY & SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA – On Wednesday, November 2, Governor Kristi Noem will host campaign rallies in both Sioux Falls and Rapid City with former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who left the Democrat Party due to its extreme left-wing positions.

Additionally, the Kristi for Governor campaign launched an ad featuring Rep. Gabbard. The ad is called, “Reject the Extreme.”

“Extremists like Jamie Smith are why I left the Democrat Party,” Tulsi Gabbard says in the ad. “Kristi Noem is a friend of mine. We believe in defending Freedom and protecting what makes this country so special. South Dakota is a place of Freedom – let’s keep it that way. Vote Kristi Noem for Governor.”

Tulsi points out Jamie Smith’s extreme liberal beliefs, like support for raising taxes, mandating vaccines, and taking away 2nd Amendment gun rights.

While serving in Congress together, Kristi Noem and Tulsi Gabbard were friends and workout buddies despite their different partisan affiliations.

The Rapid City rally will take place on Wednesday at 9am MT at the Holiday Inn Rapid City Downtown Convention Center. You can sign up for the Rapid City event here.

The Sioux Falls rally will take place on Wednesday at 6pm CT at the South Dakota Military Heritage Alliance. You can sign up for the Sioux Falls event here.

Jennifer Keintz, Dem. Nominee for Lieutenant Governor, Prefers “Elite Institutions” to SD Universities

 PIERRE, SOUTH DAKOTA – In 2019, in a letter to the editor to the New York Times, Jennifer Keintz said that she will “strongly suggest elite institutions” when it comes time for her daughter to attend college, not South Dakota universities. Jennifer Keintz is the Democrat nominee for South Dakota Lieutenant Governor.

In the letter, Keintz said that SDSU is not a “prestigious university” and that it didn’t “open doors” for her. You can find the letter here.

“Does Jamie Smith condone his running mate’s elitist rhetoric?” said Governor Kristi Noem. “I went to Northern State and graduated from SDSU. I love these schools. If Jamie is a ‘moderate,’ why did he pick such a liberal running mate?”

Jennifer Keintz has made other radical claims during this election cycle, including advocating for biological males to compete in girls’ sports. Jennifer Keintz was rated the most liberal South Dakota legislator.

From Twitter, I think the universal view is that the SDSU poll whiffed it badly with their methodology.

The polling numbers I'm seeing from @EmersonCollege @TheHill sure makes some of the previous "poll" numbers bounced around on here look silly. @SenJohnThune race is one example. This shows him up 58%-27%.https://t.co/wvTNDV4UHJ

From Twitter, looks like Jennifer Keintz is drawing some fire from Governor Noem over something I’d pointed out a while ago. That Keintz is a bit of a snob, and wasn’t afraid to tell people so:

Jamie’s running mate wants her kids to go to “elite institutions,” not South Dakota universities. Does @RepJamieSmith agree? Does he condone this elitist rhetoric?

I went to Northern State and graduated from SDSU. I love these schools.
