Campaigns are long and grueling. And if I’m honest, I haven’t always enjoyed being on the trail for the last year. I’d much rather focus on doing the job. As I often tell my team, I’d rather focus on good policy rather than politics.
But there’s one thing that I have relished about the last year of the campaign.
For the last year, each of my opponents has had the tall task of convincing voters that South Dakota is broken. That it needs fixing. We’ve seen slogans like “Save South Dakota.” And voter after voter has come up to me and said, “Save us? From what?”
