In one week, voters choose which candidates represent their parties in the 20-14 general election. The primary happens June 3, and two Republicans want the nomination in the race for governor of South Dakota. This feature offers a campaign snapshot of the woman challenging South Dakota’s incumbent governor.

Lora Hubbel is a former state lawmaker, a registered nurse, former substitute teacher and a realtor. She also wants to be South Dakota’s next governor, and Hubbel doesn’t shy away from contrasting her position on key issues with those of her primary opponent.

Hubbel faces current Governor Dennis Daugaard in the primary election for the Republican nomination.
