I have been saying if MMM doesn’t make an announcement by this week, he probably won’t run for higher office (governor).
I am NOT basing my prediction on any chatter I have heard. In fact I have heard NOTHING. I just think when it comes to campaign finances and organization he is really behind the 8-Ball at this point.
I also think he wants to help with the transition of a new mayor in Sioux Falls and hopes his candidate Entenman wins.
I’m not saying Huether will never run for anything again, but may sit it out for two years. I also think there is a lot of things he wants to get done before he leaves office in 9 months, and running a governor campaign could get in the way of those plans. Expect Mike to be hammering the legacy hammer hard until he leaves.
