Tourism Coalition of South Dakota Endorses Governor Larry Rhoden in July 28 Republican Gubernatorial Runoff
YANKTON, S.D. – The Tourism Coalition of South Dakota (TCSD) today announced its endorsement of Governor Larry Rhoden in the July 28 Republican gubernatorial runoff election.
Tourism is one of South Dakota’s largest industries, supporting nearly 60,000 jobs, thousands of small businesses, and communities across the state. TCSD believes South Dakota needs a Governor who understands the significant impact the visitor economy has on businesses, families, and communities—and Governor Rhoden has demonstrated that understanding throughout his years of public service.
During his time as a legislator, Lieutenant Governor, and now Governor, Rhoden has supported South Dakota’s tourism industry and recognizes its role as a major economic driver. Tourism generates state and local tax revenues, supports small businesses, strengthens communities, and helps reduce the tax burden on South Dakota residents.
“Governor Rhoden understands that tourism benefits every South Dakotan,” said Carmen Schramm, Executive Director of the Tourism Coalition of South Dakota. “Our industry has worked hard to build a strong visitor economy, and we need a Governor who understands its impact, values the people behind it, and will continue working with us to protect and grow it.”
The Tourism Coalition of South Dakota believes Governor Larry Rhoden has the experience, understanding, and proven record needed to continue moving South Dakota and its tourism industry forward.
TCSD proudly endorses Governor Larry Rhoden for the Republican nomination for Governor and encourages voters to make their voices heard on or before Tuesday, July 28.
