The first candidate debates of the election season in South Dakota are being held this week.
Democratic Senate candidate Jay Williams of Yankton says it is a big opportunity for him………….

Williams is running a low budget challenge to incumbent republican Senator John Thune, who is seeking his third term.

Williams says he thinks he can make a good impression……….

Williams says the ugly split developing in the republican party over Donald Trump may cause some people to look at him as an alternative………

The Senate debate will be Thursday evening on South Dakota Public Broadcasting.
