FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 27, 2024
Sioux Falls, SD - Sioux Falls, SD – South Dakota celebrated a big infrastructure win and great news for Madison this month as the city finalized its connection to the Lewis & Clark Regional Water System.
But while SD Congressman and career politician Dusty Johnson posed proudly at the ribbon-cutting which marked the event, what he didn’t mention was his vote against the very funding that made this long-overdue infrastructure milestone a reality.
While Dusty Johnson smiles for the cameras and takes credit for infrastructure projects, his voting record paints a different picture—especially his vote against the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, a lifeline for states like South Dakota that has provided critical funding to increase capacity and at long last connect Madison to the Lewis & Clark pipeline.
“It’s double-talk, plain and simple,” said Congressional candidate Sheryl Johnson. “Dusty wants to take credit for projects he’s tried to block funding for, all while pushing policies that favor billionaires and his big-money donors over the needs of regular South Dakotans. South Dakota deserves better.”
South Dakota’s rural communities, farmers, and ranchers rely on infrastructure investments to thrive. Yet Dusty Johnson’s regular opposition to federal funding leaves these vital projects in jeopardy. The people of South Dakota deserve a representative who will fight for our needs, not just show up for the photo-ops.
“It’s time for leadership that will truly put South Dakota first,” added Sheryl Johnson. “We need a representative who will work every day to secure the investments that our communities need to thrive. I will fight for all of us in D.C.”
