Battling endorsements in Mayor’s runoff

SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO.com) — A battle of endorsements is taking shape in the runoff race for Mayor in Sioux Falls.  Former Candidates Greg Jamison and Joe Batcheller – who finished third and fourth in Tuesday’s balloting – endorsed Jamie Smith, who finished second.  That prompted criticism from GOP gubernatorial frontrunner Toby Doeden, who labeled Smith as a radical left-wing legislator in a Facebook post.  Doeden called on Sioux Falls voters to unite behind Christine Erickson instead.
