After Illinois governor dumps $500K in South Dakota's abortion battle, Noem cuts check too
Catholic Church puts another $75K toward Amendment G debate
Political influencers and high-profile public officials on both sides of the aisle — and inside and outside of South Dakota — are exerting their financial might as the state’s fight over abortion access enters its final days.
Amendment G ballot question committees have continued to rake in cash since last week’s campaign finance reporting deadline, with amendment sponsor Dakotans for Health and No G for SD and Life Defense Fund filing dozens of supplemental disclosures in the final days of the 2024 election cycle.
On Monday, Gov. Kristi Noem’s national political action committee, registered to the second-term Republican, announced it had contributed $25,000 to No G for SD, the ballot question committee behind an onslaught of advertising opposing the proposal to loosen South Dakota’s near-total ban on abortion.
