Former Democrat House and Senate Member Paul Dennert has filed to run as a State Representative in District 1 this morning, according to the Secretary of State’s Office.
If elected, the 80 year-old Dennert would possibly serve at the same time as grandson Drew Dennert who represents District 3, and is running for re-election.
At first glance, I thought Drew Dennert left the party after trying to destroy it this spring with his letting the Independents vote in Republican Primary bill.
Drew lost a lot of my respect.
No one to primary Drew?
He got off easy. He’s probably the worst legislator in SD.
Aberdeen needs to get its act together and send decent legislators with life experience and not just a kid living in his mom’s basement getting a hand out on the farm and riding his grandpa’s last name.
Please bring back David Novstrup. He had real life experience compared to Dennert.
Paul will hopefully teach Dennert some manners.
His grandfather Paul is an old time conservative Democrat if I remember correctly.
Mike McHugh who is running on the Dem side for house is a longtime Brown County resident is a heck of a nice guy and a good man with plenty of life experiences under his belt and AG background among other strengths if my memory again serves me right.
Why is Drue recruiting his minion Kalob Weis?
A few months ago he was running in district 3 and now he’s running in district 2? How does that work?
Drue is a Democrat. He’s just registered as a Republican because he moved to district 3 to run for the legislature. Other wise he would be running in the same district as his grandpa as a Democrat.
Kalob Weis he would be a bad candidate. he ran for another office up there in Aberdeen and did horribly. Not much substance there.
Kaleb moved to district 2. Thats why
Was Drew’s plan all along to run alongside his democrat Grandpa, since they both promote legislation to benefit democrats?
