(Harrisburg, SD) — Governor Larry Rhoden continues to travel the state on his “Open for Opportunity” tour and says he’s thinking about running for governor in 2026. On Wednesday, he stopped at Showplace Cabinetry to highlight South Dakota-made products. Rhoden says the tour has helped him learn more about what local businesses need, and it’s made him excited about the idea of running again. He hasn’t made a decision yet but says people have been very supportive. He believes it’s too early for candidates to launch campaigns, including Congressman Dusty Johnson, who’s already announced. Rhoden is also celebrating a win for states on AI regulation. He and 16 other governors pushed Congress to scrap a proposal that would’ve blocked states from regulating AI for the next ten years.
