South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg will not run for re-election in 2022, regardless of the outcome of his Senate impeachment trial.

Ravnsborg first won the office in 2018 after winning in a crowded state Republican convention race. He would go on to defeat Democratic nominee Randy Seiler in the November general election.

Ravnsborg’s tenure as Attorney General has been marred by a September 2020 crash where he struck and killed pedestrian Joe Boever with his car near Highmore. He later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges that did not find him criminally responsible for Boever’s death. The South Dakota House of Representatives impeached him in April over the incident and the events that followed.

Ravnsborg did not respond to a request for comment on the matter. However, sources close to the matter tell Dakota News Now that since being impeached in the House, Ravnsborg has been telling Republican delegates and close confidants that he will not run for the office again in 2022, regardless of the outcome of the Senate impeachment trial later this month.

Now that his career in politics is over, maybe he'll resume posting on here, LOL.

He certainly doesn't have a roadmap for future election victories, and this recent debacle could drive him back to the forum. Still, I feel like he'd get ran off the forum by hostile red avatars. It kills me how cruel people can be here sometimes, particularly those hacks who make drive-by attacks and refuse to even back up their assertions. So for that reason, I can see him hitting the brakes as far as anything political goes. But maybe he'll take that route anyway. Former posters who make surprise comebacks are generally hit-or-miss, though.

I think Virginia should preempt this and ban him, as homicide should violate the terms of service.
