Greetings.

Welcome to the launch of The South Dakota Standard! Tom Lawrence and I will bring you thoughts and ideas concerning issues pertinent to the health and well-being of our political culture. Feel free to let us know what you are thinking.

Change Agents of South Dakota endorsements for the coming election

Change Agents of South Dakota endorsements for the coming election

Editor’s note: Change Agents of South Dakota says “0ur goal is to keep the extremists out and help elect moderate, thoughtful, responsible candidates into office. We are not partisan.”

After interviewing candidates for South Dakota Secretary of State, we  endorsed Terrance Davis for that extremely important position. Mr. Davis does not support any one person’s or group’s political agenda. He supports us, “We The People.”

Our other endorsements, previously published are, Kenny Anderson, Curt Soeh, and Rick Bondander for Minnieheha County Commission.

Curt Deedrich for Minnehaha County Auditor.

Frank Kloucek for South Dakota Public Utilities Commission.

Brian Bengs for U.S. Senator.

We have interviewed all these candidates. We believe these are the right people for the jobs they want to perform on our behalf.

There is a mixture of Independents, Republicans, and Democrats in our endorsements. We are truly non-partisan.

We are endorsing NO votes on Amendments I and L.  Amendment I hurts people in need. Amendment L nullifies majority rule, replacing it with the tyranny of the minority.

Early voting has now started.

We hope you do. It matters.
