WATERTOWN, S.D. (KELO.com) — The political career of South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg ended when the State Senate voted to remove him from office.
Ravnsborg struck and killed a pedestrian while driving on U.S. Highway 14 in Hyde County.
Watertown Mayor Ried Holien is a former state senator. He also serves as a National Committeeman for the South Dakota Republican Party.
Because Ravnsborg wouldn’t apologize for the incident, Holien says the result was “inevitable.”
Holien will be chairing this weekend’s South Dakota Republican Party Convention in Watertown.
Thirteen-hundred delegates from across the state will hand out a number of nominations for the November general election, including one for attorney general.
