State Representative Kevin Jensen, who earlier this year was running for SDGOP Chair, until he wasn’t, announced yesterday on Facebook that he will be running for State Senate in 2024:
If you recall, this last election Jensen had fronted a Political Action Committee that had raised and donated money – much of it coming from State Rep. Karla Lems – to defeat Governor Kristi Noem, as well as Senate Leadership in the 2022 primary.
Given that, and other issues out there, I’d anticipate the District 16 Senate contest will shape up to be one of our first primaries for the State Senate next year.
Only 405 days!
Too premature to qualify as tasteful.
I agree. These liberty guys always think they should be in office and flip flop back and forth.
I’m sure he will face a primary, but the question is from who? I am sure there are rumblings of a mainstream Republican getting recruited, which led to this early announcement.
Any word on Jordan Youngberg? Is he still planning to derail Pischke?
I didnt see Youngberg at the LDD so I doubt he’s going to run.
One of the best home and personal defense bills ever signed into law was introduced by Kevin Jensen making South Dakota a Safe Harbor for law abiding citizens and a much harder place for criminals to do business.
