State GOP to decide AG, other nominees amid infighting

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota Republicans are meeting to choose candidates for attorney general and other offices, with the impeachment conviction and removal of Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg hanging over the convention in Watertown. Former Attorney General Marty Jackley and Division of Criminal Investigation Director David Natvig both want to be considered for the role. Delegates also will choose their nominee for secretary of state and will try to forge a united platform after months of Capitol infighting. The convention began Thursday. Voting for nominees is set for Saturday (June 25, 2022).
