Gas prices in South Dakota have risen 57.7% since the start of Trump's Iran War.
South Dakotans have made it clear: data centers cannot be allowed to run rampant in South Dakota. It's time we elect South Dakota Democrats to Pierre and hold AI data centers accountable.
Donald Trump promised to bring prices down on day one. He has been in office for 589 days.
“Economic development is important, but protecting South Dakota families and ratepayers must come first,” - Frank Kloucek for South Dakota PUC .
REMINDER: Democrats fed SD kids. Thank you Rep. Kadyn Wittman!
Dan Ahlers is proud to be endorsed by working class South Dakotans - not a billionaire in a red hat.

SD Republicans passed a voter registration law so sloppy that eligible voters are being wrongly stripped down to 'federal-only' ballots. The state is now being sued. The sponsor of the bill behind this law is Heather Baxter, the GOP nominee for Secretary of State.
WATCH: Dakota News Now spoke to Amanda Potter and Sonja Mentzer, candidates for SD House, about the pledge they've both signed to hold data centers accountable.
Democratic candidates like Amanda Potter, Jeff Shelton, and many more are leading the charge to hold data centers accountable in Pierre. Read the full pledge & see which candidates have signed on here: www.dcapsd.org
Diesel in South Dakota has hit $5.31. Last August it was $3.36. Farm families heading into harvest are getting hit at the pump and at the school supply aisle in the same week.
Packing a school lunch costs $400 more per-year than it did last year. South Dakota gas prices are averaging at $4.05 a gallon. It was $2.99 a year ago. We need elected leaders who will stand up to Trump's affordability crisis. Rhoden, Jackley, and Rounds won't.
Half of parents nationwide say they're cutting back elsewhere just to be able to afford school supplies. This is Donald Trump's affordability crisis. Larry Rhoden, Mike Rounds, & Marty Jackley won't do a thing to stop it.
Last Spring, South Dakota Democrats in Pierre warned that this legislation would result in a lawsuit. Larry Rhoden signed it into law anyway. The SD SAVE Act is an absolute mess, and anybody who has registered a voter this year knows it. Just ask your County Auditor.
Kids across South Dakota are back in class this week. Their parents are doing math at the kitchen table that doesn't add up. Trump's affordability crisis is hitting back-to-school shopping hard, and SD families are paying the price.
Mike Rounds crashing out over Trump's announcement of new foreign beef imports, as if he hasn't bowed down to his every whim:
Half of the people that leave South Dakota prisons end up back inside. Recitivism is a major problem in South Dakota, and Larry Rhoden has proven he is unable to fix it. It's time we elect someone who will.
Nikki Gronli has spent years working for all of us - because she's one of us. There is nobody better to represent us in Washington than a true public servant like Nikki Gronli.
Nearly 1 in 10 South Dakota high school students skipped school last year because they felt unsafe. Pierre should be doing something about it. You should be asking Republicans in Pierre why they haven't.
Tribal communities in South Dakota face serious public safety gaps, and Dan Ahlers showed up to listen and lead. That's what a governor looks like.
South Dakota's cybersecurity program is running out of money while local governments face attacks. Meanwhile, the only things they're getting from the Rhoden Administration are pennies and press releases. Communities are in need of real support. Rhoden isn't giving it.
More than half of South Dakota counties have no OB-GYN and no place to give birth. Rural healthcare is in trouble, and Larry Rhoden is turning a blind eye.
It's time to build a brighter South Dakota for all South Dakotans. It's time to elect Dan Ahlers as our next governor.
REMINDER: Dusty Johson, Mike Rounds, and John Thune cut $1 TRILLION from Medicaid.
Nearly 1 in 10 South Dakota high schoolers skipped class because they felt unsafe at school or on the way there. Republicans have had decades to lead on school safety and youth mental health. Clearly, they haven't gotten the job done. Our kids deserve better.
Trump is importing foreign beef. Again. This is a slap in the face to South Dakota farmers & ranchers who are already feeling the pain of Trump's backwards economic agenda.
Trump to allow import of 300,000 metric tons of ground beef without tariff
Beef prices in the U.S have soared in 2026 due to a reduction in the nation's cattle herd.
