Rapid City Journal-- Noem sailing toward win, Robinson lacking traction
A recent Rapid City Journal article states that South Dakota's current Representative Kristi Noem is headed toward another big win in the next election. There are only two weeks until voting, but Noem's name is far more recognized than her competition, Corinna Robinson. Noem has been South Dakota's Representative from the Republican party for two terms, and is running for a third. She has stated that she will push for new economic plans to grow South Dakota's agricultural exporting. Robinson's priorities are strengthening the education system of our state, including an increase in teachers' salaries.
This is especially interesting to me because I am able to vote in these next elections! Learning about these candidates will expand my knowledge and make me a more informed voter. As South Dakota only has one seat in the House of Representatives, I think this race is very important because the winner will be our sole voice in half of Congress. There has been a lot of press about the Senate race in South Dakota, so I like reading about another showdown within our state. (And I am excited to finally be able to participate and have a say in the state, nation, and world I live in.)
This is interesting to read about, for I have only really heard about the Senate race lately. I hadn't even heard of Corinna Robinson running against Kristi Noem until I read this post. It will be interesting to learn more about each of these candidates and vote in a couple of weeks!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even realize that she was up for re-election until I read this article. It just goes to show how building a good reputation will get one consistently re-elected (basically a foregone conclusion). Hopefully, she will use her extended time in Washington to the fullest.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you wrote this article because I had completely forgotten about the race in Congress (although it doesn't seem to be much of a race)! So, in all fairness I don't think that Corinna Robinson stands a chance.
