House Candidate Johnson Tops Krebs in GOP Straw Poll at SD Fair

Republican U-S House candidate Dusty Johnson of Mitchell is fresh off a strong performance in a Republican straw poll at the state fair

The former chief of staff for Governor Daugaard and Public Utilities Commissioner says he believes he can make a difference.

What does he see as the most important issue to work on if he’s elected to the House? Johnson says the government is making it harder for jobs to be created, both through regulations and through uncertainty.

About that straw poll at the fair — Johnson defeated his Republican opponent, Secretary of State Shantel Krebs, 924 to 788.

Johnson’s comments came during a stop in Brookings Wednesday.
