Senator Mike Rounds vs. Brian Bengs Former South Dakota Governor and two-term U.S. Senator Mike Rounds is running for re-election in 2026. A win would give him a third consecutive term in Washington. His challenger is independent Brian Bengs, who has a very interesting past. Many folks are reaching out asking who they should support in this race. I believe it's a very clear choice.

Happy Friday! Not sure watching The Exorcist right away in the morning was the right choice. 👻

I would like to nominate Dacotah Bank Stadium, which is home to the Northern State University Wolves in Aberdeen SD. It certainly isn’t the largest, but it is a beautiful stadium. The best part is, it is nestled right in to a residential neighborhood. Very cool place.

Just speechless. So incredibly sad. Deputy Katherine Frank has passed away from wounds sustained in a recent shooting in Sioux Falls SD. Katherine had just graduated from the police Academy two years ago. It takes bravery and dedication to serve as a law-enforcement official. Godspeed to her and the family and friends she leaves behind. 🙏

Happy Columbus Day!

Happy Monday, South Dakota. The November 3rd election is quickly approaching, and we all need to know exactly what we’re fighting for. South Dakota is the greatest State in the Country and we need to keep it that way. Take a listen. 🇺🇸

What a great thread from X today. Killary Clinton jokes never get old 😂

Outgoing Republican Secretary of State Monae Johnson has officially endorsed Democrat Terrence Davis in the upcoming November general election. These were the first thoughts that popped into my head. 1. Who cares what Monae Johnson thinks? 2. She is basically a Democrat anyway, so this isn't really a surprise. 3. She is a sore loser who can't swallow her pride and support Heather Baxter who soundly defeated her at the GOP Convention earlier this year. This situation is similar to the aftermath of the June 2nd Gubernatorial primary election. Dusty Johnson lost. He swallowed his pride and supported the 'establishment' candidate Larry Rhoden. Jon Hansen lost. He called me and told me he was endorsing me and would support me 100%. That was a lie. Instead, he wallowed in pity for weeks and not only refused to support me, but he also worked tirelessly behind the scenes to sabotage my race vs. Larry. Point is this. Monae isn't a conservative republican, and Jon Hansen isn't and never was a 'grassroots' politician. They only care about themselves and their political cravings. Happy Saturday Everyone!
