“I am humbled by the outpouring of support and encouragement I have received across the state to run for Congress,” said Jackley. “I am running for Congress because the fight to save our country is in Washington.

“As South Dakota’s Attorney General, I have been proud to support the President and the America First Agenda that voters overwhelmingly backed last November,” said Jackley. “I have worked with President Trump to secure our southern border, stop the flow of dangerous drugs into our communities, and I am standing behind him to support law enforcement and keep our country safe.”
