Dusty Johnson Fights Falsehoods With Optimism
Refuses to run negative ads to win Congressional Race
MITCHELL, SD – The Dusty Johnson for Congress campaign released a video Monday where Dusty Johnson, who is seeking the Republican nomination for South Dakota’s lone Congressional seat, pledged to his supporters, and all South Dakotans, that he will not air any negative ads. Dusty, joined by his wife Jacquelyn and three children, outlined his commitment to remain a positive, solutions-oriented candidate in the face of false, negative ads from his opponents.
“We’ve run a positive, optimistic campaign about the future of South Dakota and our country,” said Dusty Johnson. “Despite our efforts, it seems that in every election, candidates turn to mudslinging and character attacks as a last-ditch effort when they are behind in the polls. From the beginning, my candidacy has been solutions oriented and that will never change – it’s who I am. That’s why I will only attack the issues like: pushing for fiscal responsibility, working a new Farm Bill, and bringing much needed reform to our welfare system. If you support positive campaigning and believe that we need a problem solver representing South Dakota, I would be honored to have your vote on June 5th.”
Dusty Johnson grew up in a working-class family in Central South Dakota and graduated from USD Vermillion. A former policy staff member for Governor Mike Rounds, Dusty learned early on he had a passion for public service. After serving on the Public Utilities Commission, Dusty became Governor Daugaard’s Chief of Staff and helped lead the state out of a $127 million deficit. Dusty currently works as Vice President at Vantage Point Solutions in Mitchell where he helps telecommunications companies deploy fiber and broadband into rural communities.

In the KELO debate, Dusty was adamant he does not and has never supported national control of education.
That does not appear to be true.
Shantel stated that Dusty spoke in favor of the National Education Common Core program in 2014.
Considering she lied about and misled about the nature of the No Labels group, who would believe anything she says. She deserves third place.
Troy Jones: You avoided the topic of Dusty’s support of Common Core which is a direct falsehood by Dusty.
Are you denying Dusty supported Common Core in 2014?
It also used the false $127 million budget deficit claim. He even used his kids to promote that falsehood. So much for being pro-family.
Troy, those indoctrinated with confirmation bias will look for one mistake so they can disregard anything a person says, even if it happens to be true.
I wonder if he will quit a few days after he wins the election for greener pastures.
Glad I voted for Johnson.
I’m waiting for Dusty to declare “I’m not a crook!”
