Allison Renville ends South Dakota gubernatorial campaign citing financial uncertainty
The Sisseton-Wahpeton Dakota candidate said her campaign is dissolving and argued the process favors people with personal wealth and elite connections
Allison Renville, a Sisseton-Wahpeton Dakota candidate for South Dakota governor, announced Feb. 27 that she is ending her campaign, citing financial uncertainty, according to ICT. Renville said in a press release that her campaign will be “dissolving.”
“Running for public office should not require personal wealth or access to elite networks. What I’m going through is just like every other American,” Renville said in the statement, quoted by ICT. “When candidates with lived experience of housing instability and working-class struggles can’t sustain campaigns, it proves the system is not designed for the common person.”
