Krebs announces bid for Congress

Posted

PIERRE (AP) – Secretary of State Shantel Krebs says she's running for Congress.

The first-term Republican announced her campaign in an emailed statement Monday.

She also posted a video that touted her background as a "fourth-generation farm kid," former legislator and businesswoman, with visuals of her lifting a bale of hay and gazing at the South Dakota prairie.

Krebs follows Dusty Johnson, a former public utilities commissioner and former chief of staff to Gov. Dennis Daugaard, into the race. Johnson announced in November.

The incumbent, Republican Kristi Noem, is running for governor.
