I am proud to announce that I am running for Governor of South Dakota. It’s time to dream big, to grow, to build, to believe in a bright future for South Dakota. 🇺🇸 DustyJohnson.com

I agree. We can’t keep doing the same things at the state level and expect different results. Words without action mean nothing. It’s time for real leadership in Pierre. It’s time for repeat offender accountability. It’s time for a Safer South Dakota. open.substack.com/pub/thedakotas…

PAROLE IN SOUTH DAKOTA IS FAILING. “Sioux Falls Police Chief Jon Thum noted that it was the second time in just over a year that he has had to visit the emergency room for one of his officers who had been shot by a parolee.” This state needs REAL leadership, not excuses. thedakotascout.com/p/sheriff-mike…

Parole in South Dakota is FAILING, and we can’t keep playing politics with people’s lives. Accountability matters. It saves lives. That’s why I released my Safer South Dakota plan—a plan to crack down on repeat offenders and protect our communities. As Governor, we will tackle these issues together.

Tonight, we didn’t just show up—we showed the difference. A REAL plan for stronger schools, lower taxes, safer communities, and a stronger economy. Clear vision. Real leadership. Join the team: DustyJohnson.com

The Missouri River can and should power the future of Western South Dakota. Clean water is not just for drinking. It’s for farms and every industry in our state. I’m leading the fight to secure South Dakota’s water future because our families need it now, and the next generation will depend on it. kotatv.com/2026/04/16/rep…

This National Crime Victims Week, we stand with every victim, survivor, and family impacted by violent crime—and recommit to building safer communities for all. That commitment is at the heart of my Safer South Dakota plan—focused on holding offenders accountable, cracking down on drug dealers, and making sure families and communities have the tools they need to respond and stay informed. Because EVERY South Dakotan deserves to feel safe.

Parole in South Dakota is FAILING. Repeat offenders. Weak oversight. Rising risk to our communities. Leadership can’t keep ignoring this. I’ve outlined a plan for a safer South Dakota—I’m ready to deliver on it.

It’s not just about ideas—it’s about getting things done. I’ve done both. South Dakota deserves leadership that delivers real results—on education, our economy, and supporting families. As Governor, I’ll keep that focus. sdpb.org/politics/2026-…

I said it on Monday, and I’ll say it again: Parole in South Dakota is FAILING. kotatv.com/2026/04/15/rap…

South Dakota deserves a Governor who’s willing to take bold action. I want our kids to choose South Dakota because South Dakota is the best place for them to build their futures. They deserve a South Dakota that doesn’t settle. Let’s make South Dakota the best place for the next generation to build their future. southdakotasearchlight.com/2026/04/13/thr…
