No ridiculous $250 a head dinners here, as South Dakota Republican Women are doing it up right as they feature Republican candidates in a couple of weeks!
The South Dakota Federation of Republican Women are hosting a Candidate Meet and Greet on Thursday, Sept 26 in the Hotel Alex Johnson ballroom, with light appetizers and live music (harpist who will play background music.)
Public Utilities Commission candidate Kristie Fiegen is giving brief remarks at the end, and it’s open to all Republicans and free to attend! (Although, I’m sure they’re always happy to take donations)
Put it on your calendar!
Why does it state “All Republicans Welcome”? Isn’t it time to reach out to Democrats and Indepedents too?
Republicans and Democrats believe in different ideals, that’s why there are the two parties. Events like these are for like minded people. It’s a chance to support people who you would like to see be in office. If you’re a Democrat, you probably won’t be supporting a Republican so what is the point of a Democrat who isn’t supporting Republicans come to a Republican event except to bring conflict? Democrats are welcome to have their own meet and greets for Democrats only. Independents are not committed to either party but if you want to put on something for Independents, you are free to do so. If you are an Independent and truly want to learn about the candidates and don’t have an agenda, you could always ask to attend. I’m sure you wouldn’t be turned away.
Light Appetizers…if that includes those little ham salad sandwiches you get at the meal after a funeral, , count me in. I’m also partial to liverwurst on rye crackers and those little crisp bread sticks with a slice from a cheese ball.
