Larry Rhoden is in the middle of a tight South Dakota Republican governor’s race, with recent polls showing him trailing Dusty Johnson and Toby Doeden close behind in a field where no one has consistently reached the 35% needed to avoid a runoff. He has also been publicly involved in a dispute with Johnson, accusing him of trying to pressure him not to enter the race. Separately, Rhoden signed a new law requiring proof of U.S. citizenship for new voters and has backed a property tax relief plan tied to a county sales tax proposal.
