Brent Hoffman Announces Candidacy for Minnehaha County Commission
HARTFORD, S.D. — Brent Hoffman announced today that he is seeking the Republican nomination for the Minnehaha County Commission. “It would be a great honor to represent the people of our county,” Hoffman said. “If elected, I will always remember who sent me there, and I will work hard on their behalf.”
Hoffman brings a long record of public service. He served a career in the military—both enlisted and as an officer—and survived the attack on the Pentagon on 9/11. He has long been involved in community service, including as a Big Brother and as a Court-Appointed Special Advocate for abused and neglected children. Hoffman has been elected to public office three times, serving on the City Council, School Board, and in the State Senate. He has earned recognition from organizations such as Concerned Women for America and the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Hoffman said he intends to run an issue-focused campaign centered on responsible government and transparency. He has advocated for fiscal discipline, tax restraint, and term limits, previously serving as chair of South Dakotans for Term Limits. “The best ideas in government rarely come from within government,” Hoffman said. “They come from conversations with the people we serve.”
Hoffman is a widower and lives on a farm near Hartford, where he remains active in the community. He holds several degrees, including an MBA from the University of South Dakota. He is also the author of Life After—a biography of his late wife—and Bailey: A Wonderful Life.
The primary election will be held June 2.
At this point he’s been in government so long it’s best time to step aside. Like the man said, best ideas in government rarely come from government.
I’m Brent Hoffman, I’m not a career politician because I only serve one term at an office then run for a different one…
Duplicitous
Insufferable.

Isn’t this the guy that ran a mandatory minimums bill and the next year said we have a prison overpopulation problem?
Probably one of the most brilliant senators to serve in years. South Dakota truly lost a great leader when he chose not to seek reelection. BR will undoubtedly do an excellent job as a county commissioner.
