SDDP Executive Director Statement on the Results of the South Dakota Democratic Primary Election

South Dakota Democratic Party Executive Director Suzanne Jones Pranger issued the following statement on the results of tonight’s South Dakota Democratic Presidential Primary Election.

“We congratulate Secretary Hillary Clinton on her win in South Dakota. Both campaigns ran great races in South Dakota and engaged thousands of people in the democratic process through their campaigns in the State.”

“We also congratulate Secretary Clinton on becoming the presumptive nominee of our Party. It is a great moment in our nation’s history as the Democratic Party becomes the first to nominate a woman to our nation’s highest office.

“We also want to thank all the Democrats, Independents, and Non­affiliated voters who participated in the South Dakota’s Democratic Primary on Tuesday. Whether you supported Sec. Clinton or Sen. Sanders, we can all agree Donald Trump lacks the judgment or temperament to be president. We are confident backers of both Democratic candidates will stay involved in the political process to help us move our State and Nation forward by electing Democrats up and down the ballot.”
