Stroebel cruising in 20th SD GOP primary
Former state Rep. Duey Stroebel is cruising to an easy victory in the GOP primary for the open 20th SD.
With 86 percent of the vote in, Stroebel has 8,568 votes, or 69 percent, according to unofficial returns.
Lee Schlenvogt was second with 2,786 votes, or 22 percent, while Tiffany Koehler was in third with 1,061 votes, or 9 percent.
With no other candidates seeking the seat, Stroebel will be virtually assured of winning the 20th SD special election in April.
UPDATE: The final results are in. Stroebel finished with 68 percent of the vote.
