Jackley Leads All Candidates in Fundraising for 2017

PIERRE, SD: South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley announced his campaign for governor raised over $1 million in 2017, 92 percent of which came from South Dakotans. The historic number breaks the single-year record for money raised by a gubernatorial campaign in a South Dakota primary.

“This is a campaign by South Dakotans for South Dakotans,” Jackley said. “The outpouring of support from across the state is humbling, and the fact that nearly all of our donations have come from South Dakota shows just how much momentum we have moving forward.”

Marty Jackley for Governor raised $920,016.99 in 2017 and Friends of Marty Jackley raised $118,000 for a combined total of $1,038,016.99.

Jackley led all gubernatorial candidates with the highest total raised and the highest percent of contributions from individual donors.  Jackley also received the least amount of PAC contributions.

“Our campaign is being funded by South Dakotans,” Jackley said. “I don’t think South Dakotans want out-of-state special interests picking their new governor. That’s why we’re running a positive, visionary campaign built on ideas that come from the people who live here.”

    1. Most of it I’m sure. $1.6 was for running for Congress.

      A year ago Jackley was toast. Now he’s in the driver’s seat. Noem’s team miscalculated. He’s a really good candidate.

  2. Ok, Marty, we get it. A smaller percentage of your money came from out of state. We expect an 8 year congresswoman to have more friends/contributors from out of state…not as big of a deal as you’re trying to make it.

    1. Yeah, we get it Marty! You’ve spent less time glad handing Washington money and then not complaining when the only money you get from South Dakota and is from Bluestem St in Sioux Falls.

  3. This release has about as much value as saying that because he has lived in Pierre the last few years, he should stay there and be Governor. The bottom line is that South Dakota is fortunate to have two highly capable, highly liked candidates running for Governor. Hopefully they will keep the race clean and the releases with more substance than this one.

    1. It is significant that he raised 92 percent off his money in state, and was NOT the one who spoke with a forked tongue by saying PAC and out of state money should be banned. She keeps making stupid statements and her supporters get mad when her hypocrisy is pointed out.

  5. Noem wants to close the loopholes that helped her raise the vast chunk of her dough. That deserves at least one 30 second ad.

    1. Oh really, are you that clueless or do you just not care about the truth? Rep. Noem wants to eliminate ‘in-state’ PAC contributions that circumvent individual contribution limits, she took 0 dollars and Jackley took $30,500. Rep. Noem also wants to ban corporate contributions, she accepted 0 dollars and Jackley took $8000. She did accept $70,500 in ‘out of state’ PAC contributions which is 8.3 per cent of her total income. Is 8.3 percent a VAST MAJORITY?

      1. if you really cared about the truth, you’d understand that the 2017 numbers aren’t the only ones that matter, given that she transferred $1.6 million from her congressional account. Lots of that money was raised in the same way that Noem now scolds everyone else for.

        Unfortunately, you don’t care about the truth, and you’re just being purposefully disingenuous.

        1. The truth is Jackley transferred money from his previous campaign too. The truth is Jackley takes any money he can from out-of-state too. But it’s only bad when Kristi does it. The truth is Jackley isn’t exactly running a clean campaign like he keeps talking about…all i have seen out of his campaign is trying to define Kristi as an “out-of-state” and “special interest” candidate.

          Define YOURSELF for us, Marty. Please, for the love…

      2. I think this is a slippery race. She is in more trouble than she expected.

        Mickelson getting out really hurt her I agree.

  6. I am sure somewhere in this crap there is insight into their vision to lead. I am just to dense to see it.
