PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - Dusty Johnson’s congressional campaign says he’s raised more than $100,000 since entering the race to succeed U.S. Rep. Kristi Noem in 2018.
Johnson’s campaign said Thursday that he raised the money during the fourth quarter of 2016.
Johnson, a former chief of staff to Republican Gov. Dennis Daugaard, said in November that he’ll seek Noem’s seat after her upcoming two-year term ends.
