Hog House Blog: Equality SD endorses candidates

By Denise Ross
Welcome back, Hoghouse readers. Sorry things went radio silent for much of last
week. I got sucked into another project -
the documentary - which is nearing completion at long, long last.

I return bearing gifts.

First is the list of legislative candidates endorsed by Equality South Dakota, the relatively new LGBT advocacy group. Later today, there will be video of an interview with the Democratic campaign manager from Mississippi who won the special congressional election last week. (I swear it’s true.)

OK, so Equality South Dakota endorsed seven Democrats. Here’s the list. (Read the full press release by clicking “CLICK HERE to read more” below.

Elaine Elliott, House District 2, Aberdeen. Candidate Elliott is in a three-way primary against longtime legislator Paul Dennert and candidate John Graham for two spots on the general election ballot.

Darrell Solberg, House District 11, Sioux Falls. Candidate Solberg faces fellow candidates Don Rose and Shawn Anderson in a three-way primary for two ballot spots.

Martha Vanderlinde, House District 15, Sioux Falls. Candidate Vanderlinde faces fellow candidates John Madigan and Patrick Kirschman in a three-way primary for two ballot spots.

Caitlin Collier, House District 17, Vermillion. Candidate Collier faces former legislator John Reedy, incumbent Eldon Nygaard and candidate Thomas Jones in a four-way primary for two ballot spots.

Larry Lucas, House District 26A, Mission. Incumbent Lucas faces candidates Calvin Jones and Paul Joseph in a three-way primary for one spot on the ballot.

The South Dakota Family Policy Council sent out a letter on May 24 to its base (not on their website, big surprise, considering their hysterical tone) that shows they have concerns and warning their members of the impending "threat" ... it sounds to me like EqSD PAC has gotten their attention!

This year the Pro-homosexual, Pro-abortion Lobby Groups are working hard to gain influence in the South Dakota State Legislature.
- Primary Elections are important to every interest group.
- Values Voters must support traditional family values.
- Please note: Party affiliation is not an indicator of a candidate's value system. Our responsibility is to know which candidates most closely align with our Biblical Christian Worldview, and support them.
- Equality South Dakota, a pro-homosexual rights lobby group, is offering $$ financial support to those candidates that support their views on homosexual-rights legislation.
