Remember when Larry Long left the AG’s office before his term was up? Just so they could appoint a FAUX Incumbent?
Are they pulling the ‘Jackley’ trick with Jarrod?
The Republicans LUST for power in SD is so bad they have to play political games to retain that power. What a sad bunch of individuals.
—————
Jarrod is from Corson / Brandon but his main contributors are the religious right from west river. His campaign finance reports show money also from Lederman. But he has never needed much money to run or hold his offices.
From the School and Public Lands website:
Jarrod is a 5th generation cattleman from Corson, where his family homesteaded in 1874. He received a B.S. in Animal and Range Sciences from South Dakota State University in Brookings. While completing his degree, he conducted research and assisted in teaching graduate and post-graduate courses. His family operates the Split Rock Cattle Company, which extends from Aurora to Minnehaha counties, in South Dakota.
Jarrod was elected in 2006 to serve South Dakota as Commissioner of School and Public Lands, and was elected to a second term in 2010. In January 2011, he was elected by his peers to serve as President of the Western States Land Commissioners Association (WSLCA), representing 23 western states managing over 447 million acres of State Trust Lands, as well as vast oil and gas reserves, on behalf of school children. He also serves as Chairman of the Western States Land Commissioners Association Interstate Transmission Task Force and is an appointed member of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission. In January of 2009, Jarrod was appointed to the United States Department of the Interior’s Royalty Policy Committee. Jarrod has also been named to the Bureau of Land Management’s Dakotas Resource Advisory Council.
Jarrod and his wife Heidi have two wonderful children; Clayton, 13 and Anna, 9. They enjoy farm and ranch life and spending time outdoors.
