The South Dakota Democratic Party (SDDP) is pleased to announce Dan Ahlers has returned as the party’s Executive Director.
Dan brings extensive administrative and political experience to the role as a former administrator of the Dell Rapids Chamber of Commerce, small business owner, and state legislator.
“We are happy to have Dan officially back as the executive director. Dan and I have a shared vision for our state party of reaching out to Democrats, Independents and moderates to build a stronger party. Our renewed focus on rural South Dakota as well as bringing more folks to the table is imperative. Dan is a proven former legislator who could work across the aisle to get things done for his district and the state. He knows what it takes to win in a tough district. He is the right person for the job at this critical time in our state.” – Shane Merrill SDDP Chair
