It is pretty easy to do better than the South Dakota Republican Party nowadays, especially during a period when they raised zero dollars.
South Dakota Democrats managed to outdo them by over $60,000 during the month of July, according to the August 2025 FEC report that was just filed:
The hard numbers are $60,370.04 raised against $59,680.46 spent. It’s a high burn rate, but they also have an office, paid employees, and put close to 1000 butts in seats for a major fundraising event.
Considering that, coming out positive is doing pretty good.
$58,603.68 cash on hand when it’s all said and done.
How much was personal contributions and how much was DNC?
