South Dakota’s Freedom Works Here Recruitment Campaign To Start New Phase

(Pierre, SD) — Governor Noem’s Freedom Works Here campaign is going to roll into its second phase. Her office released the news Wednesday. The next phase of the controversial workforce recruitment campaign is expected to cost one-point-five million dollars, a fraction of the initial phase, which clocked in at five-million. It’s unclear when the next phase will start. The workforce recruitment campaign, which has run since late June, has come under intense scrutiny in the past few days as lawmakers asked the Governor’s Office of Economic Development about the success of the campaign so far. Details from the GOED have been vague.
