FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 3, 2023
The South Dakota Democratic Party (SDDP) is excited to announce McGovern Day will be held on June 3, 2023 with keynote speaker former Senator Doug Jones of Alabama.
“A celebrated prosecutor who brought long-overdue justice to the victims of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, Doug has built his career on fighting impossible battles. In 2017, he shocked the political establishment by winning a special election to fill a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama—the first Democrat to do so in 25 years in the state. On Capitol Hill, he quickly built a reputation as a well-regarded and effective legislator, passing more than two dozen bipartisan bills into law in just three years,” according to his website.
