Correction

A headline on Page A1 of Wednesday’s edition incorrectly indicated that congressional candidate Matt Varilek currently owns shares in a company that he has named in criticisms of the source of Rep. Kristi Noem’s campaign donations. Varilek once owned stock in the company but sold it in 2009, as the story stated.
