Todd County Rancher Mike Assman Endorses Jackley
MISSION, SD: Attorney General Marty Jackley is standing with South Dakota farmers and ranchers as concerns continue to rise about Washington trade policy.
“We need a governor who’s taken on Washington before, and that leader is Marty Jackley,” said Todd County rancher Mike Assman. “He’s tough, he’s fair, and at the end of the day he’s going to do what’s right for the people of South Dakota.”
Assman is a lifelong rancher who raises commercial angus cattle and buffalo near Mission. He and Darla, his wife of 31 years, have been organic producers since 1997.
“When South Dakota agriculture thrives, the entire state succeeds,” Jackley said. “Here at Team Jackley we believe good ag policy starts with input from farmers and ranchers, which is why I’m grateful for the support and advice of hardworking producers like Mike and Darla Assman.”

Trade is just not a good issue for Marty because state AG has no power over trade. It makes it worse for him that Kristi sits on the trade subcommittee in the House and they’ve been hauling in admin trade officials to grill them about the tariffs.
Marty has good law enforcement ads but Kristi has really been outclassing him on ag generally, especially fixing that 4H rodeo issue – which is just the kind of arcane legal issue you’d think Marty would be good at.
This is the best endorsement yet, well, almost:
Who pounds staples in a fence like that?
A lifelong lawyer who needs b-roll for an ad
Watch out Marty! Libertarian Party nominee Grudznick is out of the gate and running for Governor. When elected that broken down old Marine will be spending even more time in the bathroom during session.
Mike is in the same class as a farmer/rancher friend of mine in Edmunds Co. who if anyone ever asked how to be profitable in Ag today I told them do exactly what he is doing. Assman was making more money farming Organic grains every year every acre than the land itself was worth on the open market. You want their story.
That does sound interesting Charlie…I would be interested in hearing more.
So where does Jackley stand on the recent Trump trade positions? with him or not?
I’m sure Mike’s a great guy but with the farm economy in the toilet and trump threatening to make it worse with tariffs, Kristi’s hands-on farm experience beats Marty’s white collar law background. There’s just no comparison.
Kristie is up by 11 points and Marty is getting endorsements from a bunch of nobodies.
Mike Assman “a bunch of nobodies” said nobody ever, that’s a Republican from from South Dakota. The Assman family has been making South Dakota Great in the Mission region since Moby Dick was a guppy.
Wow- Team Noem is now trashing Mike Assman and bragging about their rigged poll. #desperate
Classic D.C. Kristi. Nothing screams “I’m out of touch” quite like calling South Dakotan voters who’ve been here for generations and made a good life for themselves “nobodies”
90% of voters are in Sioux Falls in Rapid City and none of them know who he is. I don’t support Noem but I think Jackley is wasting his time with all of these endorsements. Marty will be a okay governor but his campaign is just another repeat of what Rounds did.
