Primary elections set November legislative races

Over 186,000 voters turned out for this year’s primary election. They nominated party candidates for various elected offices and overwhelmingly rejected Constitutional Amendment C (67% No, 33% Yes).

With the results of the primary election, we now know whoour choices will be in the November legislative races. Below is a list of the candidates running in the Sioux Falls area legislative races. Please note, that some individuals are running unopposed and are therefore de facto elected.
