Well, that’s interesting. Former GOP Herseth opponent teasing possible statewide run

Well, that’s interesting.

Bruce Whalen, who ran as a Republican for Congress against Stephanie Herseth Sandlin at the height of her popularity is out on Facebook this morning soliciting interest for a Statewide Campaign Exploratory Team for himself.

I’ve got a note to Bruce asking if he’s willing to note what office he’s interested in. But if it’s this election, it’s a really short list: US Senate, Congress, or the Public Utilities Commission. All of which are currently held by Republican officeholders.

Stay tuned for more on this, in case the story develops into more.

  1. Good guy. Good thinker. What I wish he had done since he had last run is be more visible to the Sioux regarding the merits of Republicanism to their future and interact with the non-Sioux regarding the realities inside the Sioux community (on and off the reservation) to allow us collectively to be more of a help.

    Unless I’m missing something, he’d be great in office but is lacking in certain candidate skills- primarily communicating.
