Dem Secretary of State candidate Tom Cool has filed his campaign finance report. And it seems as if he is running the same level of campaign that he always has.
After collecting about $19k in donations from various sources, Cool finds himself gambling on himself with a $50,000 loan.
Considering his past track record of 4 or 5 losses, 50k is a pretty big wager to make when it hasn’t gone his way so much.
It looks like Cool has lost at least six elections since 2010:

Did Dan Santella ask about that?
Not cold cash…just cool cash then ? Haha
This might be his turn. He’s never faced someone insaner than he, like than Ms. Monae.
No way Monae. The selection process has to change to avoid candidates like this.
Mr.Cool should be congratulated for running a state wide campaign by raising just $19,000 from his friends and neighbors and kicking in 50 grand of his own dollars. I’m rather certain Archie Gubbrud spent about that much on his statewide races and I’ve read that Francis Case once won a campaign for US Senate on $800.I don’t care how much money she raise, Monae Johnson is one of the most absurd candidates I’ve ever heard of. Republicans need to examine our candidate nominating process.
Monae Johnson isn’t insane or absurd, and as she’s said over and over, she’s not an election denier. She’s a kind, honest, intelligent, extremely hardworking South Dakotan who sees room for improvement in the secretary of state’s office. What’s insane is the unrestrained vitriolic lying directed at Monae from the media and from both sides of the partisan divide.
