FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE- April 19, 2018

Stanley County State’s Attorney Thomas P. Maher Endorses John Fitzgerald for South Dakota Attorney General.

Fort Pierre, South Dakota: Stanley County State’s Attorney Thomas P. Maher announced his support for Lawrence County State’s Attorney John Fitzgerald for South Dakota Attorney General.

I support John H. Fitzgerald, as the Republican candidate for South Dakota Attorney General.

John is dedicated to the people of his community, to the rule of law, a concept of justice for all, and the protection of all. John has thirty plus years of experience in law enforcement as a county prosecutor. Not only has John  tried a lot of challenging cases; he’s resolved many more. He’s truly a legal champion. His experience and skill are second to none. He’ll make a great South Dakota Attorney General. Go FITZ!

Stanley County State’s Attorney

  1. A question for discussion: Is this really the best way to keep rolling out endorsements? One by one instead of a massive list? I haven’t seen any of these picked up by any newspaper, only the blogs. My personally opinion is that it would be more effective to roll it out all at once and then hammer home the message that he has been endorsed by “X” number of State’s Attorneys. Discuss!

    1. Strategy and campaigning are not Fitzgerald strong suit …. all he has is a career prosecutor career politician with no ideas no money no charisma and no chance

      1. Fitz has more charisma than Ravnsborg. Have you heard him speak publicly?

        Russell is by far the most charismatic in the race.

        1. I have. Fitzgerald seems awkward speaking with no ideas of what he will do to better the AG office.

          Russell: I can’t hear as he is very soft spoken in front of people. Many people I have spoken with feel the same way.

          1. I saw both speak at a Lincoln Day Dinner last spring. I was unimpressed with Fitz’s speaking ability, especially since he has been a State’s Attorney for so long. And Jason spent most of his time talking about fighting ballot measures that might be coming out and not what he wanted to do as Attorney General. Since then I have observed Jason has been clarifying his message but not much improvement from Fitzgerald.

    2. I agree. Unless the states attorneys are calling their local delegates and the local paper is publishing it.

      1. That was my thought too. If that’s that’s happening then I would say it is effective.

  3. Interesting split in Stanley county here…Ravnsborg on Facebook shows how he went to the Sheriffs and Police Chief Conference and got a commemorative coin from the Stanley County Sheriffs office and patch and Fitz gets the SA endorsement.
