James Bruce Stalzer[2] (born July 7, 1946) is an American politician and a Republican member of the South Dakota House of Representatives representing District 11 since January 11, 2013.[3]
Elections
- 2012 When incumbent Republican Representative Lora Hubbel ran for South Dakota Senate and left a District 11 seat open, Stalzer ran in the four-way June 5, 2012 Republican Primary and placed second with 447 votes ahead of incumbent Representative Mark Willadsen; in the four-way November 6, 2012 General election, fellow Republican nominee Christine Erickson took the first seat and Stalzer took the second seat with 5,124 votes (27.88%) ahead of Democratic former Representative Darrell Solberg and Jim Larson,[4] who had run for the seat in 2010.
Scandal
In 2015, the police of Sioux Falls demanded Stalzer to apologize after he made controversial remarks regarding concealed weapons. Stalzer's answer to the demand was that he made a comparison between honesty and integrity of concealed weapons and their holders, and therefore he has nothing to apologize about.[5]
