Sutton Expected to Announce Candidacy for Statewide Office

Burke South Dakota, population 580, will hold the state’s political attention on Wednesday when Billie Sutton announces a run for statewide office.

We don’t know what the State Senate Minority Leader will announce at his ranch, but Yankton Democrat Bernie Hunhoff says either way his party is in good hands

No matter what office Sutton will seek in 2018, he’ll have a steep uphill battle as a Democrat in dark-red South Dakota. Former Gubernatorial candidate Hunhoff knows that battle, but he says it’s Sutton’s time

It’s rumored that Sutton could have his eye on the Governor’s office. His father, also Billie Sutton, was the Democrat’s Lieutenant Governor candidate back in 1978.
