Liz Marty May, former State Representative of 6 years, announced her plans to challenge Dusty Johnson in the Republican Primary on February 4, 2020, during the Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo. And a few days before the announcement she received official endorsements from 18 current/former South Dakota State Legislators. Now, with the election approaching closesr, she is still charging for the seat on the U.S. Congress.
May lives in Kyle, South Dakota, and is a rancher and small business owner of Kyle Grocery. She advertises herself as a staunch conservative with a love of community and country.
May states that she will “Cull the Herd” on her official campaign website. Culling refers to a practice in ranching utilized to remove or separate inferior animals or undesirable traits. “Politicians are a lot like cattle,” May said in a campaign video. “You work them a little bit, and you see the weak ones right away. You have to get the weak ones out, or we all suffer.”
Among the issues that May intends to impact in Washington is to bring back Mandatory-Country-Of-Origin Labeling (MCOOL), to find solutions to affordable health care, and increase access to broadband in rural South Dakota.
She is also a proponent of finishing President Trump’s famed border wall. On her website she states that “Violent crime, drug usage, and human trafficking are running rampant on the reservations, and across South Dakota,” and says that much of the origin of this crime can be attributed to the Mexican Drug Cartels.
If Dusty Johnson is unseated by May, he will be the first South Dakotan since Bill Janklow to not have served more than one term in the House of Representatives.
