With fewer than 60 days until candidate petitions start circulating for political offices, the South Dakota GOP is active in not just recruiting Republican candidates for office, but in helping them equip their tool boxes as they prepare for their run.
Along those lines, the South Dakota Republican Party is involved with two candidate schools that are happening in coming weeks.
In Rapid City, The Pennington County Republican Party is hosting the Leadership Institute for a Candidate Development on Saturday, December 7 from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. Find out more about the training here.
In Sioux Falls, the South Dakota Republican Party is hosting the SDGOP Candidate School on Saturday, December 14, 2019 at 8 AM – 4 PM at Sioux Falls First, 2000 S 1st Ave, in Sioux Falls.
The GOP Candidate school focuses on preparing Republicans for service as elected officials and community leaders. Ideal attendees for the workshop are Republican party members who are looking to become more politically active, including candidates and campaign staff. Find more out about the Sioux Falls workshop here.
The cost for either workshop is $35, and participants may sign up and pay their registration fee for either workshop by visiting the SDGOP’s registration page in WinRed here.
Way to many county party organizations not organized. Hopefully some people start stepping up.
Will you be stepping up?
This is great. I’ve been thinking quite a bit recently about the possibility of running for the Legislature at some point in the not-too-distant future, but didn’t really know where to begin. I imagine there’s many more with similar thoughts out there. This sounds like a great resource and opportunity to expand the pool of potential candidates.
