More unaffiliated candidates filing at SDSOS deadline

This post will be updated throughout the day.

A source close to Neal Tapio's campaign has told The Dakota Progressive he is in the primary race to siphon support from Shantel Krebs to create smooth sailing for Dusty Johnson's nomination.

The Libertarian Party is revisiting their choice for governor in Pierre on 9 June and will nominate additional candidates. The Constitution Party is expected to name a full slate in July.

Delegates at party state conventions will pick candidates for other statewide races.
Lieutenant Governor - 4 year term
Public Utilities Commissioner - 6 year term
Attorney General - 4 year term
Secretary of State - 4 year term
State Auditor - 4 year term
State Treasurer - 4 year term
Commissioner of School and Public Lands - 4 year term
Today is the final day for unaffiliated (nobody is independent) candidates to submit petitions to South Dakota's secretary of state. Most petitions have been for county contests and one person filed for a statewide race today. Ron Wieczorek submitted around 4,000 signatures late for an unaffiliated run for the US House.

Roger Hofer of Bridgewater is running for D-19 House.
Peter Klebanoff of Baltic is in for D-25 Senate
Mary Perpich of Brookings is in for D-7 Senate.
