| Description | Republicans nominated state Sen. Larry Diedrich of Elkton today to run in the June 1 special election for South Dakota's seat in the House of Representatives.
Diedrich won the nomination on fourth ballot after two of the three Minnehaha County delegates pledged to him their support. That decision gave him enough votes to win and prompted the withdrawal of Larry Russell of Sioux Falls, a former aid to U.S. Rep. John Thune, who was the last of the seven challengers to step aside.
Diedrich will face Democrat Stephanie Herseth of Brookings in the June special election. The seat was vacated by the resignation of Rep. Bill Janklow, who was convicted last month of second-degree manslaughter in connection with an August traffic accident. |
