14:57Now PlayingMike Rounds has been in elected office almost continuously since 1990 with stints in the state legislature, state senate, governor’s office and now as the junior Senator from South Dakota since 2015. He tries to keep a low profile but is marching in lock step with the MAGA agenda and is an enthusiastic voice for big business and big money. He’s up for re-election this cycle and it won’t be an easy cruise to victory. Brian Bengs is a second time candidate, a U.S. Navy veteran, retired U.S. Air Force officer, and former National Park Ranger. He spent his entire life defending American values and lands. He’s running as an independent this cycle with frustration that both parties have effectively ignored South Dakotans with Republicans confident victory is assured and Democrats barely engaging. As an Independent, he hopes to offer South Dakotans the representation they deserve by ensuring that they are always his sole priority. Fred Wellman sits down with Brian to talk about his race, why he is running as an Independent, and what his state needs from a Senator.
