PIERRE, (KCCR) — Last week, South Dakota Congressman Dusty Johnson announced he will run for Governor in 2026. Among those stumping for Johnson at his press conference and in Fort Pierre’s 4th of July parade Friday was District 24 Representative Will Mortenson. Johnson says he and Mortenson have had a close friendship for a long time…
Johnson gave that response when asked if Mortenson would have a role in a Johnson Administration should he win the election over a year from now. Johnson served as Chief of Staff for former Governor Dennis Daugaard; who also made a cameo at Johnson’s announcement…
Reducing property taxes is at the top of Johnson’s list if he gains the keys to the Governor’s residence in 2026…
Johnson also wants to grow South Dakota’s economy…
Johnson will likely be in at least a three way primary next June with Jon Hansen and Toby Doeden as the only announced Republicans running for governor so far in the race.
