Welcome Republicans!
We are getting geared up for the July 25, 2026 State Central Committee meeting in Pierre. The meeting will be held at the Larkspur Landing Event Center.
Also, on Friday before the meeting, we have two events. The first is a 9-hole golf scramble at Hillsview Golf Course. The second is a afternoon training session at the Larkspur that will be put on by the Leadership Institute. Dinner is provided to all attendees.
After the training, we will move right into a social event right there at the Larkspur.
We are still finalizing a few details, but most are worked out and we are looking forward to seeing everyone there.

SD GOP Chairman
