Larry Rhoden is in the middle of a crowded South Dakota Republican governor primary, where recent polls have him trailing Dusty Johnson and a runoff is possible if no one reaches 35%. He has also been involved in a public dispute with Johnson, accusing him of trying to pressure him not to enter the race, which Johnson denied. Rhoden has been campaigning on education policy and has backed a property-tax relief plan that would let counties use a half-percent sales tax, and he recently signed a bill requiring new voters to prove U.S. citizenship.
