Hi. I’m Dave Knudson, and I want to be your governor. I also want to be the governor for the RR industry, the overpriced American motorcycle industry, the hotel industry, the healthcare industry, the trucking and transport industry, the credit card industry, the steel industry, the real estate and developer industry, the attorney industry, and the gravel and sand industry, and of course the regular hardworking Joe industry in South Dakota, that is of course, if you give me 1,000 bones in exchange for a hot dog and some chips.
The list of names on an invitation for a May 21 fundraiser for State Sen. Dave Knudson, R-Sioux Falls, offers a glimpse into supporters of the gubernatorial candidate.
Â
The event is a “down-home barbeque” to be held at the home of Kelby and Heidi Krabbenhoft. He is president of Sanford Health. A donation of $1,000 is suggested on the invitation.
Down-Home BBQ? What, are they stoking the fire with wood from all the homes they tore down this year around Sanford?
NAME THAT DONOR:
Names on the invitation are business executives Dan Kirby; Jeff and Carol Parker; Kevin and Carmen Schieffer; Tom Everist and his wife, former Senate Majority Leader Barb Everist; Steve and Kris Egger; Bob Thimjon; Miles and Lisa Beacom; Tom and Patti Dempster; Don and Chris Dunham; John and Ann Henkhaus; Rob and Larissa Skjonsberg; Doug and Anne Hajek; Kim and Susie Patrick; Paul Jay Lewis; Jim and Jill Entenman, and David and Jill Bockorny.
Â
Sanford officials include Dave and Laurie Link, Dr. John and Debby VanderWoude, Dr. Pat and Jody O’Brien, and Dr. Dan and Becky Blue.
There will be so many rich South Dakota Republicans at this event they may have to have some emergency skid steers on standby so there is no run off into the Big Sioux Creek. Hate for it to flood manure into any of the shoe and video store businesses that are not protected by a levee yet.
If I had the money and was invited I would give Dave $1,000 not to bring his wife. Figure that would come to about a buck a babble.
