"Teresa Bray has done an outstanding job as our Deputy Secretary of State. She has been a key partner with me in the successful operation of the Secretary of State's Office. Her management experience, practical insight, and understanding of the office have prepared her to be a great leader. She is my choice as Secretary of State for South Dakota."

- Chris Nelson, Secretary of State

"In my opinion, Teresa Bray was exactly the right choice for Deputy Secretary of State, as Secretary of State Chris Nelson knew when he appointed her to fill that position! Chris and I also agree that she is the most qualified and exactly the right choice for Secretary of State for South Dakota. Please join us with your support and vote for Teresa Bray, Republican candidate for Secretary of State in 2010!"
