WASHINGTON DC (KELO.com) — U.S. Senator Mike Rounds has officially announced plans to run for re-election.
Rounds first won his seat back in 2014, after serving both as a U.S. Representative and Governor of South Dakota.
Rounds made his bid official Thursday morning.
The Pierre native is set to face opponents from both sides of the political aisle. Scyller Borglum, a Republican representing Rapid City in the South Dakota House, announced plans to run for U.S. Senate last summer. Two Democratic candidates – former state legislator Dan Ahlers of Dell Rapids and Clara Hart of Sioux Falls – have announced intentions to run.
Rounds’ seat representing South Dakota in the Senate is up for re-election this November.
