Sturgis’s Dean Kinney Endorses Jackley in New Ad
STURGIS, SD: In a new ad released Monday, Sturgis media agency CEO and radio station owner Dean Kinney endorsed Attorney General Marty Jackley’s bid to become South Dakota’s new governor.
“I’ve known Marty nearly my entire life, and his integrity sets a standard for us all,” Kinney said. “If South Dakotans are looking for an honest, conservative leader to move our state forward, then Marty is the right choice for governor.”
Kinney is president and CEO at The HomeSlice Group, a media and entertainment company whose operations include KBHB in Sturgis, where he has been in the radio business for 30 years.
“Our friendship began before kindergarten,” Jackley said. “Dean has become a wonderful father, as well as a strong businessman and leader in our hometown community of Sturgis. His hard work took him from radio personality to station owner, and that kind of transformation really exemplifies the American dream.”
Kinney is a former president of the Sturgis Area Chamber of Commerce and currently serves on the Black Hills Community Economic Development Board. He emphasized Jackley’s collaborative approach to leadership, and said his decision to hold economic round tables with local civic and business leaders to discuss the future of the state’s economy has been welcomed by business owners in Sturgis.
“The results of the Chamber Business Day poll gave a very strong indication of the support Marty has with small business owners across the state, and I think we need someone who understands business to be our new governor,” Kinney said. “We look forward to hosting him in Sturgis so we can discuss the Hometown Initiative and the other policies Marty and his team have included in their platform so far.”

Weird line about sometimes Marty is too conservative for me….
But very true. Marty is a right-winger
Too conservative to truly investigate EB5, that’s for sure…..
hahaha. That is a good one!
Marty’s campaign is on a roll! Definitely aggressive!
Kristi Noem’s seems more subdued being on cruise contr
Who will Marty make as his Lt. Gov? Tobias Ritesman I think is now out of the picture…Maybe Dean Krogman now?
How about DiSanto or Johnson?
I don’t think so, they seem honest and have no criminal suspicion about them…
I don’t like this one. The too conservative line seems a bit trite. But what I really don’t like is the fact we are seeing a high school classmate. And we saw his sister and track coach. Not going too deep into the well on these. Show me people he’s actually helped. That’s who I want to hear from.
Former
Pierre mayor Laurie Gill would make a great Lt Gov candidate
No. Corey Brown is by far the way to go.
That’s funny. The only thing I’ve thought about Marty ever since seeing him in a brand new plaid shirt, fake fixing fence on a commercial trying to make himself appear all ranchy is “this is the LEAST authentic thing I’ve seen.”
Coming from a guy that plenty of people don’t care for…
Yeah. He did a good job.
I question Jackley’s tv people. They are not as original or polished as Noem’s work. It’s disappointing. The b roll is odd some times.
Noem’s is more natural and less cliche looking. It’s like his people think they can show someone walking a field and SD voters will just go for it.
Jackley is the right candidate for governor though. Jackley is as authentic as it comes but his media needs to show it.
