SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — As the race for the Republican nomination in South Dakota’s 2026 gubernatorial election heats up, education has emerged as a pivotal topic among the four candidates: Jon Hansen, Dusty Johnson, Larry Rhoden, and Toby Doeden. This issue resonates deeply with voters, making it a central theme in their campaigns.
Candidates are focusing on critical aspects of education, particularly teacher pay and infrastructure.
