Jackley Stands with Lawyers, Lobbyists, Pierre Politicians
Following Marty Jackley’s press conference today, Justin Brasell, Kristi for Governor campaign manager, released the following statement:
“We’re grateful to Marty Jackley for bringing together so many lawyers, lobbyists, Pierre politicians, and state contractors to point out the differences between our campaigns. He’s a government lawyer who will maintain the status quo that’s led to scandals, mismanagement and million-dollar settlements. Kristi Noem is a farmer, rancher, and small business owner, who understands the struggles normal South Dakotans face.”
Why would Glodt think that a presser with literally 4 people in the audience, featuring people who were already Jackley supporters, would turn anyone from “undecided” to “yes?”
Does “government lawyer” poll well for you Mr. Brasell? I am proud to be one of 53 State’s Attorneys endorsing Marty Jackley. I am proud to be a “government lawyer” representing the state and the citizens of my county and honored to serve. Your DC tactics are only motivating small town/small county “government lawyers” like myself to work hard for Marty in the next five days to ensure this type of divisive DC politics does not take up residence in Pierre.
>>> Only after the Argus Leader drew attention to the backlog of rape kits did Marty Jackley act.
>>> Only after a federal judge ordered Jackley’s DCI director to appear in court to explain why the state had delayed Laura Kaiser’s settlement did Marty Jackley act.
>>> Only after Kristi Noem spoke out did Marty Jackley bring the Law Enforcement Officers Standards and Training Commission into compliance with state transparency laws.
Boohoo, Shane. It’s pretty well known lawyers aren’t well liked.

I didn’t even know they had government in Perkins county…thought it was just cows 🙂
While cows outnumber people, we do have some need for some guv’ment. 😁
Exactly, lawyers 18%, Congress at 17% approval. Let’s keep our eye on the ball and talk issues important to the state. Folks are sick of the junior high name calling.

Shane: Does Marty’s conduct with regard to Laura Kaiser make you feel proud to be associated with him? If so, you may want to rethink your public service.
South Dakota isn’t America and Pierre isn’t Washington D.C… Tactics, slogans, and policy prescriptions that work for and apply to D.C. aren’t true for South Dakota… Conflating the beaucracy in Pierre and at local Courthouses and City Halls with the Deep State or Swamp that is D.C. doesn’t sit well with a lot of us who hav dedicated our lives to public service.
I kind of thought the same thing. A little of insiders up there. And at least 2 people who have children employed by Marty
I was impressed that Glodt/Marty could assemble a good group from around the East River region so fast….problem is that it will help a little, TV ads will be way more effective
Looks like the only people in the audience were the press.
Kristi continues to attack South Dakotans. Why can she not seem to stop insulting the good people of South Dakota? She attacks the people that we South Dakotans have elected to represent us. Why would she go after the Sheriffs, the States Attorneys, our mayors, or representatives? She insults our business leaders and the entire downtown community of Sioux Falls. For wanting to lead us, she certainly doesn’t seem to like us very much.
It speaks volumes about who we trust, and who we put our faith in. Kristi’s DC campaign manager doesn’t know any of the people he is insulting, so he doesn’t care. Since she announced she has done nothing but attack anyone who supports our Attorney General.
This comes from her, her campaign manager, and her surrogates. I may not agree with every person that supports Marty, but I am certainly not going to attack them for their support. I certainly don’t agree with all of the Congresswoman’s supporters, but I am not attacking them either.
Show some class. Respect your fellow South Dakotans, unless your not from South Dakota, or don’t consider your self a South Dakotan any more. In that case, just be a decent human being.
Settle down folks. You can’t fault a campaign for hosting a presser with supporters. We can’t fault a campaign for responding to a presser with a press release. And we also shouldn’t feign surprise when both campaigns went “negative” in the last couple weeks.
I think I share this opinion with many South Dakotans, I like both candidates! Both have their faults but if they weren’t running against each other I’d vote for both.
I enjoy analyzing campaign strategy, and I’m not criticizing the candidate personally, but the Marty campaign really dropped the ball when this went negative. Their ads lack substance, their responses to Noems ads are whinny. Their strategy was clearly to hit “Washington” as many times as possible, but they either never adjusted to Noems attacks or don’t know how. The really sad thing is Marty’s team is smarter than this.
