Larry Rhoden, a former lieutenant governor who was elevated to the state&#8217;s top job\u00a0when President Trump picked former Gov. Kristi Noem as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security last year. Also running: U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson and South Dakota House Speaker Jon Hansen.<\/p>\n<p>The eventual nominee will face Democratic former state Sen. Dan Ahlers, who ran unopposed for his party&#8217;s nomination. Democrats have not controlled the South Dakota governor&#8217;s mansion since the 1970s, and this year&#8217;s race is expected to strongly favor the Republican candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Doeden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dakotanewsnow.com\/2025\/04\/19\/toby-doeden-makes-political-establishment-nervous-so-whats-his-next-move\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">owns car dealerships<\/a>, rental properties and other investments in South Dakota, and has lent his campaign roughly $4 million.

and a political action committee that supports him accused Johnson of being insufficiently supportive of President Trump while in Congress, and Johnson argued Doeden&#8217;s push to eliminate property
