South Dakota GOP Chairman’s Statement on Democrat Party Leadership resignations
South Dakota Republican Party Chairman Dan Lederman issued the following statement today after the announcement of Democrat party Chairwoman Paula Hawks’ and Executive Director Stacey Burnette’s resignations this afternoon.
“South Dakota Democrats announced this afternoon that Democrat Party Chairwoman Paula Hawks and Party Executive Director Stacey Burnette resigned, with the remaining party vice-chair Randy Seiler citing party finances and debts among the reasons for the collapse in leadership,” South Dakota GOP Chair Dan Lederman said.
Chairman Dan Lederman noted “It’s too bad that Democrat leadership decided they were bankrupt both financially as well as competing in the arena of ideas. Even more so today, the weight of finding solutions to our challenges and leading our state are strictly on the shoulders of the Republican party.”
“If Democrats want to find a way to get back on their feet in South Dakota, they need to come together with Republicans and listen to their neighbors about keeping taxes low, helping them live the American dream, and letting them prosper based on our own initiatives. That’s what the SDGOP has always believed, and our party’s sustained success reflects that.” Lederman said.

Well said .. stereotyping conservatives and hurling insults and pushing defamation through back channels is no way to win.
“letting them prosper based on our own initiatives”
That is not what the so-called economic agenda of this state is about. Public-private partnerships violate that statement. I tried to amend the SDGOP platform in regard to the issue of public-private a few years ago, and it was quickly shot down thanks to the lobbyists that were on the platform committee.
