If one thing is clear after tonight's #SDRepublicanDebate, it's this:
Dan Ahlers should be South Dakota's next governor.
#SDRepublicanDebate
FACT CHECK: Republicans are actually raising taxes on ALL of us to give tax breaks to only some South Dakotans. #SDRepublicanDebate
Dusty Johnson says we need to take care of kids after they're born, but he cut food assistance from 3,000 kids.
#SDRepublicanDebate
REMINDER: Toby Doeden's tax plan would decimate local police, firefighter, and public school funding.
#SDRepublicanDebate
The only thing Dusty Johnson has done for farmers and ranchers is:
🔒Rip away global markets,
📈Skyrocket machines & fertilizer prices,
🏚️and Increase bankruptcies.
#SDRepublicanDebate
HYPOCRITE: Dusty Johnson voted to defund SDPB last year. Tonight, he’s standing on an SDPB debate stage, taking questions from SDPB journalists.
Are you still proud of your vote, Dusty? #SDRepublicanDebate
Jon Hansen’s record on “freedom”:
1. Telling people how to live their lives,
2. Taking away healthcare, and
3. Forcing his religion on others.
#SDRepublicanDebate
Dusty Johnson only cares about making life more affordable for billionaires - not hard-working South Dakotans. #SDRepublicanDebate
As Governor, Jon Hansen would take away funding for public education and give it to private schools that don't have any oversight. #SDRepublicanDebate
Larry Rhoden wants to take money away from public schools and give your taxpayer money to private organizations. #SDRepublicanDebate
Dusty’s education record:
❌0% from the NEA
❌Voted to cut Pell Grants
❌Cheered $881M in ed research cuts
❌Pushed SNAP cuts that hurt SD’s poorest students
❌Blocked student loan relief
Now he says it’s his “top priority.” South Dakotans aren’t buying it. #SDRepublicanDebate
Rhoden would rather hoard taxpayer money into our HALF-A-BILLION DOLLAR reserves than invest in South Dakotans. #SDRepublicanDebate
If Toby Doeden eliminates property taxes, our state won’t be able to fund schools, police departments, road maintenance or libraries. #SDRepublicanDebate
Rhoden didn’t think our teachers deserved a raise this year and instead wanted to hoard money in our reserves. #SDRepublicanDebate
Jon Hansen named the GOP's priorities in his own words.
Not on the list: Being able to afford groceries, rent, gas, or healthcare. #SDRepublicanDebate
Thanks to Dusty, thousands of South Dakotans can no longer afford their health insurance. #SDRepublicanDebate
Republicans only have themselves to blame for our tight budget after decades of poor planning. #SDRepublicanDebate
Republicans had a chance to give tax relief to all South Dakotans and properly fund education.
Instead, they’re increasing taxes on everyone and only giving relief to people who own homes. #SDRepublicanDebate
