  1. Honestly,

    I’d like to see Brunner run for a 3rd term. He has lead the office like no other. I’d say this is similar to Chris Nelson leaving the Secreatary of State’s office.

    Where the office goes depends a lot on who fills this position. Right now Brunner’s opinion will weigh heavily in my decision.

  2. Jordan Youngberg will be a great candidate for this position. He is the only one running right now and that already shows he is organized and dedicated. He also can’t run for a 3rd term- even though he would do great things in the Senate, I believe he will even do better things with this position for the great state of South Dakota. Jordan is for South Dakota!!
