Johnson calls career shift a chance to better serve state

Dusty Johnson said he has chosen to take his career in public service in another direction by accepting the post as chief of staff for Gov.-elect Dennis Daugaard.
“This move is a very clear indication that my political aspirations are going to take a back seat,” Johnson said in a telephone interview Monday with The Daily Republic.
“Chief of staff is generally not a springboard to any kind of political position,” he said. “A good chief of staff makes sure the governor gets the glory.”
