Governor Daugaard offers kind words for Rep. Steve Hickey
It's campaign season again and those who run for public office have to step into that uncomfortable self-promotion mode. It really helps if others offer their sentiments and in that vein I'm honored and grateful for these kind words from Governor Dennis Daugaard toward my re-election this coming November.
"Representative Steve Hickey is a thoughtful, grounded legislator who works hard for the people of his district and the people of South Dakota. After only one term in Pierre, Steve has earned my respect and that of his colleagues by listening, considering, and making strong decisions for South Dakota."

Just checking: where and when did the Governor say these words? Was this direct communication to you, or was it elsewhere in the press?

He emailed me the statement yesterday for my use in an upcoming Lincoln Day dinner ad and wherever else it might help.
