This shouldn’t be a big surprise. Several months ago Christine told me she was keeping her ‘options open’ when it comes to running for mayor and she repeated that same sentiment today on KSOO. Even last week she asked my opinion about another possible candidate running for the job. She also commented she didn’t know if she would even run for re-election on council because her family business keeps her so busy.
She has become quite popular with the SD GOP and while the race is typically non-partisan, I don’t see Christine shying away from calling herself a proud Republican if she does decide to run for mayor.
I wish her luck no matter what she decides.
As I told another candidate recently, I may stay out of the race this time and not support anyone specifically.
It’s not smart to follow charlatan Mike. It’s a term of trying to make bond payments. There’s no money for new policy and lots of apologizing for budget cut inferior services. Without accomplishments, the next mayor will be one term and hardly remembered.
commander get in and run against thema ll/.
She did nothing to clean up the corruption in Pierre. Followed her orders from the party elders.
