On behalf of the Pennington County Democrats and myself, I thank you for all you have done for the South Dakota Democratic Party. Every effort was appreciated, whether it was running for office or volunteering to help the candidates. You sacrificed precious time, energy and personal finances in the hope of making a difference by offering an alternative to the single party system in South Dakota. Regrettably, your hard work and efforts were not recognized by the majority. Obviously, the voters made the decision to reject the opportunity to make change a reality.
