More Dist. 35 Candidates Announce

Two more candidates for offices in South Dakota District 35 have made their official announcements.

The announcement by Senator Bill Napoli that he was retiring from politics left his seat in the South Dakota Senate open, and set off a flurry of new political activity in Dist. 35.

Rep. Jeff Haverly, who has been serving Dist. 35 in the South Dakota House, announced that he would seek the seat vacated by Napoli.

Today, Alice McCoy, who served Dist. 35 in the House from 1999-2006, has announced her candidacy in the Rapid City Journal for Dist. 35 Senate.

Both have been good conservative representatives, so it's going to be an interesting campaign. I wish them both well, and know that either one will serve Dist. 35 (my district) well in the state Senate.

Don Kopp has also announced in the Rapid City Journal that he will be running for one of the two state House seats in Dist. 35.

I've known Don for several years and know that he will make a solid conservative representative. I wish Don the best, as well.
