SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — The Democratic nominee for governor, Rep. Jamie Smith from Sioux Falls, picks an Aberdeen area legislator to be his running mate.
Rep. Jennifer Keintz is a real estate broker and business owner in her first term from Eden.
Smith calls Keintz an outstanding leader for the state and well-versed in agriculture.
Just minutes after the Smith announcement, Republican Gov. Kristi Noem’s campaign responded.
They called Keintz a liberal and that she and Smith want to bring “Joe Biden’s America to South Dakota.”
