The House State Affairs Committee voted 8-5 Monday to endorse HB-1111 sponsored by Republican Rep. Roger Chase. Lead sponsor there is Senate Republican leader Casey Crabtree. There are no limits on contributions from a candidate’s family member, another candidate’s committee, a political action committee or a party. Republican Rep. Gary Cammack said inflation had “dramatically changed” prices for campaign ads. House Republican leader Will Mortenson, a co-sponsor, said South Dakota saw a lot of “nasty” money pour into races in recent years.
