That’s a great question, we are still slow to have a full docket with NO ONE yet announcing for the SE District (Barranco is NOT running for a 2nd term as he is running for State Auditor instead).

AT-Large; Rich Merkouris will likely run for a 2nd term. No challengers have announced yet.

AT-Large; Cole is NOT running for a 2nd term and is actually unethically chairing a replacement candidate’s campaign, whose name we will not speak. No other challengers have announced.

Central; This is my district and I am excited to say there are a full slate of candidates;

Zak Okuwe (Nurse, Non-Profit founder, immigrant activist)

Thomas Werner

Matt McKinley (landlord)

Sierra Broussard (she may run for at-large)

Bob Trzynka (attorney)

Zach DeBoer (hasn’t announced yet) (artist)

Mayor;

Mike Huether (Maybe)

Marshall ‘Illegally living out of district’ Selberg (Big f’ing Maybe)

Greg Jamison (Maybe)

Christine Erickson

Jamie Smith

Joe Batcheller

David Zoikaites

I think Erickson will make the runoff no matter who runs, BUT, I couldn’t tell you who will be up against her since half of the challengers could do it. Some argue it will be Erickson vs. Smith because it will be the conservative candidate vs. the progressive candidate and they will be the top two vote getters since we are a purple town, or at least 7% of us are 🙁 I’m not buying it because I think Jamison and Batcheller have Smith beat on city government knowledge and there may still be some morons out there that think MMM is still great, so yes, he has a chance of being in the runoff 🙁

1st Amendment Elections Mayor Subprime Mike Huether Mike Huether Sioux Falls

I was a victim of political violence

l3wis September 15, 2025 0Comments

I was thinking about this tonight; ‘Have I ever been attacked physically for my political views?’ I have. And I am not talking about the losers on Reddit that troll me anonymously or the other set of losers (probably the same folks) that attack my grammar.

A few years ago a very angry mayor decided to kick my chair while elbowing my friend in the head, cracking his tooth. The video evidence was scrubbed immediately and the courts wouldn’t allow a hearing because of the lack of evidence. So not only was I the victim of political violence I was also the victim of corruption because of the cover-up. I could care less that he kicked my chair. At the time, I had no idea what was going on, I knew someone either shoved or kicked my chair and my friend was keeled over in pain holding his jaw. I guess my point is that political violence isn’t about the left or the right, it is about rage, people who commit it are enveloped with rage. I still have no idea what his motive was to kick my chair, but it wasn’t political.

MIKE IS RUNNING FOR SOMETHING

After someone was suckered into nominating Huether to the SD Hall of Fame and after he cut them a big check he had his acceptance speech Saturday night. Those in attendance said he cried, of course, and said that he is likely running for mayor because he referenced that he wanted to get back to the work he cherishes, public service. I welcome him into the race, because I will be the one asking him the question, ‘Do you condone political violence?’

My Man Mike may be losing support for his mayoral bid

All the signs are certainly there; Secret strategy meetings, and a full on ass kiss assault on social media buttering up folks for his mayoral run.

So is he running? That is still up in the air, but someone has presented me a likely timeline scenario. Those close to his shadow campaign have confirmed to me the plan is to announce very late (Feb/March) and self fund. It is actually a good strategy . . . if you are running for a district seat on the council, but not so much if you are mayoral candidate.

I’m sure he is going to rely on name recognition, but has virtually been a ghost since he left office. I have NOT seen him in public since, not even once. Granted I don’t run in those circles, but I find it odd that he has been such a phantom. Take your time Mike, hopefully you will realize by next year you need to pack up your crap and leave town and stay as far away from city hall as possible. We re-elected Trump after a 4-Year stint . . . how is that working out? You get my drift.

4th of July Elections Lincoln County Mike Huether Sioux Falls

Parades, Clowns and Clems

The city claims they are canceling the 4th of July parade due to lack of interest. That’s not what I heard. Anytime an officer works a parade, especially on a national holiday, they have to ‘volunteer’ to work overtime (they don’t pull officers from their regular shifts). I guess the volunteers came up short.

What the Heck is Huether up to?

I was talking to some city employees (management) and they said Mike has been busy ‘reaching out’ to them. He has also assembled a team for his next run. So Governor or Mayor? I’m switching my prediction to mayor. Why on earth would you be contacting city employees if you are running for governor? I also heard Merkouris is out, but no prediction on Beck.

LinClem County Commission

Some seemed surprised a Lincoln County Commissioner made anti-semitic statements then blamed the Queers for his racist remarks. No surprise to me, the LCC is made up of the biggest bunch of Clems I have seen in a long time. It amazes me that the wealthiest county in the state is ran by hillbillies.

Mike Huether South Dakotans

South Dakota Hall of Shame

l3wis April 30, 2025 5Comments

It’s been no secret that for years that the SD Hall of Fame DOES induct people that sacrifice themselves to make SD better. But then they play the ass kiss game. Almost 50% of inductees are there because they are wealthy and many of them ‘bought’ there way into the Hall of Shame. So this year, they inducted one of those folks, Mike Huether, but I have to shred his statement that is littered with lies and half truths;

“A visionary leader and dynamic changemaker, Mike Huether served two terms as mayor of Sioux Falls, transforming the city into a national model of growth and innovation.”

I guess when he talks about GROWTH he means our city debt.

“With a background in executive leadership at Premier Bankcard, where he helped build the 10th largest credit card company in the U.S., Mike brought a results-driven mindset to public service.”

He was the marketing VP, NOT a banker as he likes to tell people. He also spearheaded policies so bad that Congress had to create laws to stop FP from screwing clients on fees and interest. When this law passed, Mike was still working there, and Congress described their credit cards as predatory.

“Under his leadership, Sioux Falls launched transformative projects including the Denny Sanford Premier Center, Midco Aquatics Center and Levitt Shell, while preserving the city’s strong financial standing.”

Okay, had to get back off the floor after reading this sentence. A million dollar closed settlement, a failed contractor at the indoor pool, the Levitt was spearheaded by Tom Dempster, NOT Mike, he just signed the paperwork. Ironically I have NEVER seen him at a Levitt concert, but when you have FREE tickets to every concert at the Denty why hang with the peasants at Levitt? (Mike had a security badge to the backdoor of the Denty and would use it to attend concerts. The Denty turned the card off after Poops was sworn in.

“Beyond politics, Mike champions leadership and public service through the Mike Huether Public Service Academy at SDSU and the Huether Foundation, which supports causes across South Dakota. An author, TV host and lifelong volunteer, Mike continues to inspire others to lead boldly, serve passionately and leave every community better than they found it.”

An author and a TV host? Yeah, just like you are a banker. Hopefully a skid steer can clean up the stage after his acceptance speech. You know I was DJ once on a local FM/AM station. I just tell people I was a Radio Communications Executive.

I hope MMM runs for mayor again. This time I will make darn sure this guy doesn’t cross the finish line.
