Democratic Caucus Thanks Sen. Tim Johnson for His Service

On behalf of the South Dakota Democratic House and Senate Caucuses, we offer our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Tim Johnson. Senator Johnson’s legacy will endure because of his decades of public service dedicated to improving the lives of all South Dakotans. He patiently listened to his constituents, authoritatively advocated for them, and worked across the aisle to create bipartisan solutions. He exemplified what a lawmaker could and should be. His passing is a great loss, not only to his family and friends, but also to the state of South Dakota and to our nation. He was truly a great man and will be deeply missed.

Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Reynold F. Nesiba

House Minority Leader, Rep. Oren Lesmeister
