Expensive Minnehaha Race
South Dakota state Sen. Scott Heidepriem is running for governor, which means that the race for his Senate seat next year will likely be the most expensive in the state.
Heidepriem is a Democrat but the district he represents was formerly held by Republicans and retains a narrow GOP registration advantage. Heidepriem spent near-record amounts to win the district in 2006 and he and his opponent combined in 2008 to spend more than $300,000 -- not much in many states, but the record-holder for most expensive Senate contest in South Dakota history.

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
