Former Gov. Mike Rounds was recently featured on the Rapid City Journal's website, Keloland.com and the Argus Leader blog "Political Smokeout." On March 17, Rounds submitted more than 7,000 signatures to the South Dakota Secretary of State's office to get on the ballot as a Republican candidate for Senate.

From the Wagner Post: "Washington D.C. is broken, America is not," former Governor Mike Rounds said Thursday, February 13, while he was visiting Wagner. Rounds is on a current campaign for a seat in the U.S. Senate. He decided to stop in Wagner because he said he hadn't been here in awhile, wanted to say hello to the tribal chairman, and greet the businesses on Main Street. He attended a Rotary meeting and visited the Wagner Good Samaritan Home. He also got a chance to stop in at Wagner Community School and speak to the government class. "Talking to students is one of the best parts," of campaigning, according to Rounds.

I want to find out where you are and what I can do to help your efforts.”
