South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden has officially qualified for the June primary ballot. Rhoden announced the news on social media, thanking supporters who signed his petition.
Rhoden said he plans to reach voters the same way he has throughout his time in office—by traveling the state, meeting people face to face, and participating in upcoming debates. He described the next few months as “wholesale politics,” focused on knocking on doors and connecting directly with residents.
Rhoden now joins Rep. Dusty Johnson and House Speaker Jon Hansen as the candidates who have officially qualified for the primary ballot.
