CampaignThune, who was considered a rising star in his party, ran against Tim Johnson, who narrowly won his first senate election in 1996. Thune launched a television advertising campaign mentioning al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein, contending that both are seeking nuclear weapons and that this country needs a missile defense system, something Johnson voted against 29 times and that Thune supports. The incumbent attacked Thune for politicizing national security.[2] President George W. Bush campaigned for Thune in late October.[3] More than $20 million was spent in the election. Both candidates had raised over $5 million each.[4] Debates
ResultsJohnson narrowly prevailed over Thune by a mere 524 votes. Despite the extremely close results, Thune did not contest the results and conceded defeat on the late afternoon of November 9. Johnson's narrow victory may be attributed to Minnehaha County home of Sioux Falls, and to Thune also underperforming in typically Republican areas. Johnson was sworn in for a second term on January 3, 2003. Thune was elected to the Senate in 2004, defeating incumbent minority leader Tom Daschle. {{Election box begin| title = General election results[5]}}{{Election box winning candidate with party link | party = Democratic Party (United States) | candidate = Tim Johnson (Incumbent) | votes = 167,481 | percentage = 49.62% | change = -1.70% }}{{Election box candidate with party link | party = Republican Party (United States) | candidate = John Thune | votes = 166,949 | percentage = 49.47% | change = +0.79% }}{{Election box candidate with party link | party = Libertarian Party (United States) | candidate = Kurt Evans | votes = 3,070 | percentage = 0.91% | change = }}{{Election box plurality | votes = 532 | percentage = 0.15% | change = -2.49% }}{{Election box turnout | votes = 334,438 | percentage = | change = }}{{Election box hold with party link | winner = Democratic Party (United States) | loser = | swing = }}{{Election box end}} References1. ^http://www.sdsos.gov/electionsvoteregistration/pastelections_electioninfo02_statewideprimaryofficialret.shtm#US Sen-D {{United States elections, 2002}}2. ^Rothrock Library 3. ^Rothrock Library 4. ^Rothrock Library 5. ^http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/electionInfo/2002/2002Stat.htm#41 3 : 2002 United States Senate elections|United States Senate elections in South Dakota|2002 South Dakota elections |
