Mike Rounds to a judgeship in the state’s Second Judicial District.
On April 12, 2002, Chief Deputy Attorney General Larry Long, declared he was running for Attorney General.[2] Lawrence County States Attorney John H. Fitzgerald and Pennington County States Attorney Glenn Brenner also entered the race.[3] Long would go on to win the Republican nomination at the Republican convention with 63.6% of the vote; Fitzgerald received 22.2% and Brenner received 14.2%. .[4]
Beadle County States Attorney Mike Moore had declared he would run for the Democrat nomination, but agreed to step aside for state senator Ron J. Volesky who finished 2nd in the Democrat Gubernatorial race to James Abbott.[5]
Larry won the general election by defeating Democrat Ron Volesky and Libertarian Bob Newland. Larry received 174,513 (53.52%)votes; Ron received 139,451 (42.76%) votes and Bob received 12,131 (3.72%) votes.[6]
2006 South Dakota Attorney General electionedit

Attorney General of South Dakotaedit
Larry developed the 24/7 Sobriety program wherein Defendant would come in to do a PBT (Preliminary Breath Test) twice a day to prove they had not been using alcohol while out on bond. This program allowed the Defendant to continue to work and provide for his/her basic needs as well as his family, but hold him/her accountable while they awaited trial.[8]
Larry also argued one case before the U.S. Supreme Court during his time as Attorney General of South Dakota. He resigned in 2009 to become a judge of the South Dakota Circuit Court.
Rhines v. Weber, 544 U.S. 269 (2005)edit
This case involved a habeas corpus challenge against the state (in the person of Warden Doug Weber) by Charles Russell Rhines, who was on death row at the time. The case involved the manner in which state and federal laws interact, for the purpose of allowing a federal court to stay a habeas case based on state law issues. Attorney General Larry Long argued for the state, but the court ruled unanimously for Rhines.[9] Rhines was subsequently executed in 2019 by lethal injection.[10]
