CHAMBERLAIN, S.D.(HubCityRadio)- Terry Gleason has announced he will run for Governor for the State of South Dakota in 2026 as an Independent.  In his press release he wrote the following:

Background

Terry Gleason, the Independent candidate for Governor of South Dakota, is a seasoned leader and dedicated family man with a proven track record of managing large teams and driving results. As a troubleshooter with a caring approach, Terry has built a reputation for being a people person who gets things done.

As a non partisan leader, Terry is committed to putting the needs of South Dakotans first, rather than being beholden to special interests or party affiliations.

Reason for Running

Terry is running for Governor because he believes that South Dakota deserves a leader who will fight for the rights and dignity of all its citizens, regardless of their background or identity. As Governor, Terry will prioritize policies that promote inclusivity, economic growth, and public safety.

“As Governor, I will work tirelessly to ensure that every South Dakotan has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. We must promote policies that protect LGBTQ+ individuals from discrimination and create a welcoming environment for all,” said Terry.

“My vision for South Dakota’s economic future is centered around investing in infrastructure and creating jobs that will keep our young people here and attract new talent to our state. We need to work on a job infrastructure to create jobs for future generations of South Dakotans to want to stay in South Dakota for work,” Terry emphasized.

A Clear Choice for Voters

In contrast to his opponent, Jon Hansen of the Republican Party, who has taken a stance against LGBTQ+ community rights, Terry Gleason offers a vision of inclusivity and acceptance. Voters have a clear choice between a candidate who will stand up for the rights of all South Dakotans and one who will perpetuate division and discrimination.

The stakes in this election are high. South Dakotans will decide whether to elect a leader who will promote policies that benefit all citizens or one who will cater to special interests. Terry’s commitment to stricter penalties for manufacturing and distribution of narcotics will also help address the drug problem in South Dakota.

Conclusion

Terry Gleason is the only candidate who is committed to putting the needs of South Dakotans first. As Governor, he will work to create a more inclusive, prosperous, and safe South Dakota for all. Voters are encouraged to join the movement and support Terry’s campaign for a brighter future.
