SD-AL: 'Mom for Congress' pins bid to unseat Dusty Johnson on message of pragmatism, public service

Sheryl Johnson has never held political office. What she has done is raise her four daughters, manage retail operations and work in a public school.

That’s precisely why she thinks voters should check her name on the Nov. 5 ballot and send her to Washington.

She’s running as the Democratic nominee in a bid to unseat Republican Dusty Johnson for South Dakota’s lone seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The 61-year-old former Republican, who lives in Sioux Falls, has pinned her hopes for victory on her status as a mother with a range of real-world experiences. She says that makes her a better choice than an opponent whose career is defined mostly by political and government work.
