Campaign Update:
It has been a whirlwind last eight days, with tons of planning and very little sleep.
First of all, thank you again! Our performance last Tuesday was nothing short of spectacular; our base of support transcended all 66 counties.
Because of you, we won East River, West River, and communities of all kinds in between. I am grateful beyond words for your support, and I promise I will not let you down.
The voters of this state sent a message: the overwhelming majority of voters are ready to move on from Larry Rhoden.
South Dakota's greatest days are ahead, but we are falling behind in some very key areas, and we need to right the course.
I have had amazing conversations over the last week with Congressman Johnson and Speaker Hansen. They, as well as their supporters, share the same concerns I have about the future of South Dakota.
Our economy is on life support. More and more young people are moving out of state every day. Our business community is struggling and needs a leader who listens.
South Dakota has become systematically less and less affordable, and we need to address this immediately and significantly. Small changes will not suffice; we need bold and aggressive action.
The next seven weeks are perhaps the most critical in our state's recent history. I am working hour by hour to unite the full spectrum of our party behind a message of hope for the future.
This campaign is not now, nor has it ever been, about me. It is about YOU, YOUR FAMILY, and YOUR FUTURE.
Stay tuned for some big events, some big announcements, and some big fun.
