Candidate profile: Dusty Johnson

South Dakota’s contested U.S. House general election is set for Nov. 3, 2026. Republican incumbent Dusty Johnson is among nine candidates listed in the race.

The field includes four Republicans, three Democrats, one independent candidate and one candidate listed with the affiliation NNE. The candidate information on file does not include biographies, campaign finance totals or documented policy positions for anyone in the race.

Dusty Johnson in the race

Johnson is listed as a Republican and the incumbent in the U.S. House contest. A candidate biography is not on file, so the official record does not list additional personal, educational or professional background.

No totals are on file for Johnson’s funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand. There are also no documented policy positions on file for Johnson. That leaves Johnson’s party affiliation and incumbent status as the identifying details in the candidate listing.

Policy positions and campaign finances

No documented policy positions are on file for Crabtree, Gronli, Jackley, Johnson, Mawhiney, Pittman, Schlagel, Bialota or Carlson. The candidate listing therefore does not identify where any of the nine candidates stand on specific legislation or public policy questions.

Campaign finance figures are also not on file for any candidate. That applies to the three listed categories: total funds raised, total funds spent and cash on hand. No dollar amounts can yet be compared across the field.

Election details

The contest is for South Dakota’s seat in the U.S. House. It is listed as a contested general election, with Election Day scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.

The field spans four stated affiliations: Republican, Democratic, Independent and NNE. Updates to candidate records, policy statements or campaign finance totals could add more information before voters cast ballots, but the current listing establishes only the candidates’ names, affiliations and Johnson’s incumbent status.
