I’d caught this a few days ago, and with all the AG chatter, I was reminded to post.
Earlier this week, candidate for Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg sent a video to the Sioux Land Republican Women, as opposed to appearing at their forum, he’s apparently out of state for annual Army training in the run up to convention:
Very good video…talks directly to the audience….
He has ideas and solutions which is what I WANT and frankly LIKE the most of him and any candidate.
He has prosecuted cases and done trials, so where is the issue here. Good enough for me. Seems to be a red herring by the other campaigns.
That Majority of sheriffs thing is hard for me to get by, law enforcement is with him…not the 2 longer serving prosecutors…I have not seen any law enforcement support for the other 2, do they have any? What does that tell us?
It’s really long and boring. He does not show energy.
The production quality is good.
Now Mary, don’t be jealous because this is better quality than what Fitz put out at the radio. The was low energy and poor quality.
He does not show energy? Have you met him…he has more energy than the other 4 combined…I honestly don’t know how he does it…oh that’s right Mary has told me he doesn’t really have a job…such BS
Sad the last 2 weeks of campaigns have to be about attacks….keep taking the high road Jason!
PS—I really like how he explains the office of Attorney , then General and puts them together for Attorney General, explaining what the AG actually does every day and it is not trials which seems to be all Fitzgerald talks about…..at least Russell fro what I have seen talks about legislative and courtroom both….Fitz seems so one dimensional in my mind for this office…too rigid.
Jason has my support next week.
Jason has been one heck of a volunteer prosecutor over at Union County. Those defense attorneys know they better bring the “A: game when they find out they will be facing Ravnsborg in court.
Have you ever met his law partner? I know from experience. She is as tough as they come, if he learned from her I wouldn’t want to go against him either.
Well done video, very professional. I like the fact that Ravnsborg is the whole package. I have seen nothing close to this level of details from Fitzgerald or Rusell, they are not even close to the same level of expertise that Ravnsborg will bring to the AG office. If anyone’s mind is not made up, they will be after seeing this video and support Ravnsborg.
If Jason does not win in a landslide vote at the convention, I will be shocked. There is no good reason to oppose him. His character is unquestionable; his service to our country is inspiring and it has provided him with tremendous leadership skills; his legal experience is extensive; he is a rock-solid conservative; and no one can question his wide knowledge of the issues.
If he doesnt win in a landslide after telling everyone hes going to win in a landslide then hes in trouble going into round 2.
I agree he is a good guy and knows what he is doing as a candidate. The only hurdle he has is whether or not people stay with him or start to go towards Fitzgerald or Russell.
It all depends on how many lies people believe.
Hardest working guy I have ever met, personable, accomplished in everything he has done, backed by law enforcement and the only one talking about ideas….
We keep saying we want young people involved and then when they get involved, I have heard they don’t have a record…yeah they do it is called life…he doesn’t have the normal prosecutorial record…but a record of accomplishments and leading ….heck he saved the convention, now we want to throw him under the buss at it, come on?!
I heard Fitzgerald speak once and he came across as angry, not appealing to me. Ravnsborg has my vote and support.
Fitzgerald is an angry Elf, must be from the South Pole.
Ravnsborg is so under qualified for the job it’s not even funny. He can campaign though. This race is disappointing in many ways. How is it possible that we’ve had a good qualified AG over the last 8 years and now we have to pick from this group? Embarrassing. If Seiler didn’t have a D behind his name, he could win easily.
Seiler will win unless we pick Ravnsborg….He is the only one with ideas…tell me why we are voting for the “most experienced candidate ever” when he has no ideas or platform at all ….or the unethical guy associated with Stace Nelson…Ravnsborg is the only pick in this race who can win.
I thought Hillary was the “most experienced candidate ever”
no one measures up to John Fitzgerald, just ask them…
I saw an article where Chris White won a case in Aberdeen and everyone was praising him but Mary couldn’t help say when everyone was saying he was the best attorney…well second best…I mean that told me a lot…Chris wont he case, but Mary couldn’t let it go that anyone could be getting praise as a prosecutor but John
Didn’t Chris White endorse Fitzgerald? Why would Mary say that about him if he endorsed her hubby?
She said it before Chris White endorsed him…not sure if Chris ever saw it. I remember bookmarking it at the time…I’ll see if I can find it…meant to show Chris and always forgot.
Yeah we know Mary…same lies you have been spreading…Ravnsborg doesn’t have a job, Jason only campaigns–Jason’s law firm is a front , Jason has never done a jury trial…all proven untrue…but keep telling them your lack of integrity is appalling…talk about the win at any cost campaign…SICKENING
Mary and Stace have been spreading the same lies over and over again. Mary is so blinded by how she feels its her husband’s turn to be AG because he did 250 cases, even thought he failed at over half of them. 48% conviction rate, OUCH!!!
I don’t want an AG that has a FAILING grade.
Ravnsborg raised 100k. The others did not. The end.
Good point…Fitzgerald has raised nothing when you take out what he put in…how on earth is he going to win in the fall? Plus he has no message to get out, even if he had money!
Sure would be nice if all the statewide offices were on the Primary ballot. I’m not familiar with all the candidates for all the offices the delegates nominate, but from what I’ve read about them, I think we’ll be fortunate to have any of them. I plan on voting for all the Republicans on the ballot in November. At the end of the day, a DEMOCRAT is still a DEMOCRAT and believes and supports their party platform.
In addition to safe travels, I hope and pray the best for the delegates to the GOP convention and trust them to do what’s best for South Dakota.
Good video, positive, providing a vision and he told about what he has done and is going to do.
The narrative of any AG candidate should include points covering office management, leadership, work ethic and adherence to following the rule of law according to Statute. Putting all those traits into making the decision in choosing our AG candidate gives us the best shot at beating Mr. Seiler in November. The State GOP convention may end up being a popularity contest but it sure won’t be in November.
Charlie, overall experience will be seiler’s pitch. The other things will matter but not as much. We are in trouble in the general.
