An announcement from Dist 3 House candidate David Novstrup:

By -
A couple of day's ago I was fortunate enough to break the news of the Father/Son Team running in the legislature in District 3. This evening, I'm fortunate enough to have one of the Republican House Candidiates for District 3, David Novstrup, e-mail me a statement on his candidacy:
I am running for the legislature to make a difference in South Dakota and contribute to my community. I plan to work hard in this campaign by going door to door meeting constituents and discussing issues that affect them personally.

I believe in limited government and free enterprise. One issue that I plan to address in my campaign is improving South Dakota’s schools to help students be competitive in a global market. Also important to me is economic development that will provide high quality jobs that will enhance the ability of young South Dakotans to stay in South Dakota.

My background includes being a SD House of Representatives page in 2002 and an intern in the 2005 SD House of Representatives. I was an intern for the House Ag and Natural Resources committee and the House Local Government committee. As an intern I worked on the Criminal Code Revision Commission bills. I have been a student senator at Northern State University. I have participated in the National Young Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C. and the Global Young Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C. and New York City. I am currently involved in the Leadership Aberdeen program. All of those experiences will be helpful in serving the people of South Dakota.

I will bring a fresh perspective to the legislature and find new solutions to old problems.
Thanks for the note David, and we'll watch your race with great interest.

Is Larry Frost not running? That is terribly disappointing to lose someone like Larry in the legislature.

A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on
