Larry Pressler in Congress 2002

In 2002, Larry Pressler (the former two-term congressman and three-term Senator) attempted a political comeback by running for an open at-large House Seat in 2002. Ultimately then-Governor Bill Janklow ran for the seat and Pressler dropped out (Janklow would go on to resign after being convicted of manslaughter in 2004).

What if Pressler had won the seat in 2002? Could he have moved up from there?

Pressler is an interesting person. A liberal/moderate republican who supporter Obama in 2008 and 2012, ran as an Independent for Senate in 2014, and supported Hillary Clinton in 2016.
