What this means
In Senate remarks on September 17, 2026, Majority Leader John Thune recounted late-summer visits across South Dakota, including agricultural fairs and forums, businesses, first responders and schools. He discussed meetings with farmers at DakotaFest and CHS Southwest Grain, a visit with the Army undersecretary to Ellsworth Air Force Base as it prepares for the B-21 bomber, and a groundbreaking for Southeast Technical College’s James Abdnor Center for Advanced Manufacturing. Thune also described workforce and cybersecurity programs at regional schools and universities, and argued that tax legislation and the farm bill would support agriculture. The remarks described visits, ongoing preparations and his legislative positions; they did not announce a new grant application or a completed B-21 deployment.
