Herseth Sandlin won’t run for House seat
Stephanie Herseth Sandlin came extremely close to running for Congress again this year.
But in the end, the tug of a “chatterbox” of a 3-year-old son outweighed the allure of soapbox for the former congresswoman.
On Saturday, Herseth Sandlin announced that she would not be running for office in 2012. This forecloses the chance of a rematch between Herseth Sandlin and Rep. Kristi Noem, the Republican who unseated Herseth Sandlin in 2010 – a rematch Herseth Sandlin seriously considered. (Rapid City Journal, 01/22/2012)
