Joe Glenn: Billie is 'ready to lead as governor and make S.D. stronger'

"As former head football coach at the University of South Dakota and a former U.S. Army officer, I have seen many great leaders. Sen. Billie Sutton is one of the best I’ve seen.

Being a great leader is about bringing people together to accomplish something bigger than any one person can accomplish. That is Billie Sutton.

I met Billie when he was a rodeo standout at the University of Wyoming where I was coaching football. I learned of Billie’s paralyzing rodeo accident, but knew he had the strength and perseverance to overcome – and he did.

Billie, the common sense cowboy I know, is serving his neighbors as a legislator and prominent voice for the people of South Dakota. He is ready to lead as governor and make S.D. stronger.

The best leaders have these qualities: passion, courage and perseverance. Billie possesses each of these. He is passionate about our state and is a true public servant. He is someone who never backs down from a challenge. That is how Billie was raised and how he would govern.

Let’s elect Billie Sutton to lead S.D.’s team as the next governor of our great state.

Fight, South Dakota."

Joseph Glenn, Vermillion
