According to the Federal Election Commission, the South Dakota Democratic Party started the most recent reporting period in July with $31,267 but ended the month with just $3,181; which is a trend the party has seen during the past year.

Additionally, the SDDP receives at least $10,000 per month from the Democratic National Party, according to FEC reports.

South Dakota Democrat Chair Paula Hawks said that the decreased funds are caused by “extreme mismanagement and lack of oversight.”
