Always good to see our elected officials being truthful with the public. And this occasion is State Senator Erin Tobin noting to the voters of her District what they need to know about the scorecard her opponent is waving around, the infamous Citizens for Liberty cherry picked nonsense scorecard.
This would be the same group that rated their lobbyist’s spouse at 100% after she was suspended and censured for harassing a legislative employee over breastfeeding and vaccinations. And not passing any legislation that year.
You can go to Senator Tobin’s facebook page here – share it all over.

No one cares about the CFL scorecard besides the crazies in their own echo chamber. We should all use it to determine who NOT to vote for. High CFL score? Hell no candidate. Endorsed by CFL? Run away. Event by CFL? Pretend it doesn’t exist.
Erin is not afraid of anything. Apparently it’s a west river ranch girl thing. CFL, and any puppet they are putting up, is in over their head.
Every puppet they have has more yard signs… it’s not looking good in rapid city.
When we see yard signs of the CFL clan in RC, we know who the crazies are.
The legislator you spoke about husband’s is NOT a lobbyist. In fact he or his wife are not presently associated with CFL. The CFL scorecard is based on the State GOP platform. No cherry picking. Maybe you should follow the same platform to get your score higher!
Well, liar, liar, pants on fire.

He certainly was a lobbyist for CFL in 2023 as he was standing next to JFM when she was telling the employee how to bump-start her lactation. Before that, he was one of the highest ranking members of the group.
Yes in 2023 he was but not 2024.
I suspect the reason he did not register as a lobbyist in 2024 is because he lost his spousal privilege of free access to the Senate chamber in 2023. As a lobbyist, he was denied access three hours before session and one hour after session. As a spouse he can come on the floor and talk to Senators during those four hours, something he could not do as a registered lobbyist.
I am not being supportive of JFM and her bodyguard husband. I want her gone but the criticism of CFL is uncalled for. What are you afraid of that CFL follows the state platform and some people/legislators think they run the state. Remember our state motto is “Under God the People Rule”.
Please stop pretending CFL has anything to do with the GOP platform. Were they following the GOP platform when their highest ranking officials were out collecting signatures to increase taxes? It’s a social club for the disaffected, and little else.
CFL follows their own agenda. Even more importantly noted, Erin is working for her district. Republicans ask her to do these things, even if those things may occasionally disagree with the platform. Who is making the platform and why does it go against long term care for elderly, public education, and public safety???? That is awful.
the platform doesn’t ho against long term care, public education & safety
As usual, people who rant about the SDGOP party platform have never bothered to read it
I was on the platform committee for years. it gets old listening to these people
To even suggest 10 votes decide if you are a Republican when you vote over 1000 times a session is absurd. Even if this group wasn’t bias, which they are, it’s a horrible sample of the scope of the legislature. Are you suggesting the Republican platform didn’t have positions on the other 990 votes ? GTFOH
Mykala, dis you?
We are lucky to have that gal out in Pierre. She is the real deal
PreK-12 Education is not an issue considered on the legislator ratings. It is crucial that children have support of the State Legislature to assist in providing high quality education. There is a great divide in quality for children in S.D. yet the state is not supporting high standards from east to west. Let’s bridge this divide by investing in programs that increase access to quality for ALL S.D. students.
So you want the STATE to impose standards of quality on local school districts, do you?
GOTCHA!
We see this all the time, people who demand adherence to the party platform, want local control of the schools, who run to Pierre for a state fix whenever their locally elected school board does something they don’t like.
Likewise, opponents of SB 201 SAY they want local, county control of setbacks etc. Unless they live in Lake County, where the county commissioners refuse to even put discussion of pipelines on their agenda, and then local control is absolutely terrible.
They want local control when it fits the narrative. As a landowner, I don’t want my crazy neighbors imposing setbacks onto me. Zoning is not good for property owners and the anti pipeline climate change deniers are trying to restrict my rights. They can kick rocks. Lake County commissioners are 100% correct.
CFL = Crazy F—ing Liars.
Any questions?
South Dakota is a better place because of Erin Tobin. She’s an absolute star! Sorry the far right is intimidated by a strong women who can think for herself and stand on her own two feet!
The magats want women to be quiet and stay in the background. It’s sad.
Tobin for Governor!!!
CFL gave Rep. TIm Goodwin a “great” rating until he announced to run against JFM. Suddenly the rating was revised and he was given a bad rating.
you only have to be consistent when you’re telling the truth. a good lie has to be constantly on the move.
Good work, Erin. We all need to put those magats in their place.
Erin has done a good job in Pierre. I may not agree with her on several things – but she is sensible, and I understand her positions. Her challenger however, is running with a “yee-haw-dist'” platform – screaming WE THE PEOPLE and is just plain delusional. I could go on, but with Erin’s track record – she shouldn’t have any problems with the primary.
I’m just waiting for a scorecard that depicts a vote for the people, maybe spending less. Yeah…they all fail there, and we know it.
yes we all want them to spend less while insisting they need to spend more money for education, public safety, long-term care, roads and bridges. And the state employees all want raises too, to keep up with inflation.
But don’t spend any money doing any of that.
