The republican leadership in the South Dakota legislature has sent letters to all its candidates, telling them there is one GOP caucus, and the expectations and benefits of membership.
House Majority Leader Lee Qualm of Platte says that letter is not meant to discourage open debate…..
Qualm says they want to make sure republicans are unified in their legislative message…..
Qualm says it should not be taken as a threat……
Qualm says with a new Governor in January, republicans need to be ready to work together.
