The election is a marathon, and you will never know what the ending will be until the last moment. However, the South Dakota election in 1987 seemed to have no suspense early. Because of Griffith's strong fundraising ability, he left his opponent far behind. Whether it is the number of campaign advertisements or the number of election support events, Griffith is far ahead of his opponent.

Among the candidates for governor in South Dakota, Griffith's main competitor was the last governor of South Dakota. Although after taking office, he tried to develop South Dakota's tourism industry to replace a single agricultural economy, in terms of effectiveness, it actually caused South Dakota's agriculture to decline. Before tourism could not become a pillar industry, most residents in South Dakota still had to rely on agriculture to make a living.

Griffith has been working with farmers all his life, and he knows what the farmers here like and what they need. So Griffith's campaign program is concentrated in the agricultural field. He promised that after taking office, he would strengthen the interests of farmers and ensure the minimum storage price of food throughout the state. He would even use the state finance to build water conservancy and agricultural infrastructure, and the state government would negotiate with agricultural-related companies to fight for the interests of farmers. Under Griffith's series of campaign policies, how could the people here not like him?

Griffith was parading around South Dakota for campaigning. At this time, Monsanto's laboratory finally made a breakthrough in corn genetically modified seeds. It was successfully developed a new corn seed that could resist glyphosate herbicides. Another important project in Monsanto's Molecular Biology Laboratory, the research on genetically modified wheat is coming to an end. However, Monsanto's ambitions are not just that. Now the Molecular Biology Laboratory has expanded into a large experimental institution, where almost all seeds of agricultural products common in the US market are conducting similar genetically modified research. Seryosha hopes that Monsanto can leave its opponents far behind from the beginning, using technological barriers to prevent competitors from entering this new field.

As the campaign gradually came to an end, several polls in South Dakota showed that Griffith's approval rating was far higher than his opponents. This made Kalim's heart finally let go. At this time, Seriosha was about to acquire shares of German Volkswagen, so Kalim left the United States and went to Europe to deal with related matters. By the time the matter was settled, the South Dakota midterm election process had reached its last juncture.

With the last day left before the voting, Griffith's campaign team booked the largest indoor sports venue in Pier, the capital of South Dakota, waiting for the final result of the election. From early in the morning, major media began to report on the voting situation in Dakota. There are about four million registered voters in Dakota. Although Griffith can successfully win the throne of governor as long as he gets more than his opponent, in order for the smooth implementation of the policies after taking office, Griffith would better get more than half of the votes.

After six o'clock in the afternoon, the voting work was basically over, and the rest was the vote counting work of the Election Commission. At this moment, all candidates have finished all their work, and the only thing they can do is wait for the final election result.

As the results of one polling station after another were released, Griffith was far ahead from the beginning without any suspense, which finally relaxed Griffith's nervous heart. He felt that the governor's campaign was much easier than the Democratic primary.

In order to activate the atmosphere on the scene, Griffith's campaign team also invited bands and singers to entertain themselves. After half of the vote count, Griffith's campaign location has begun to celebrate in advance.

By about 9 o'clock in the evening, Griffith had received more than half of the votes, basically confirming that he had become the new governor of South Dakota. With the mobilization of the host, the scene started to cheer after rounds of cheers. Amid the cheers, Griffith and his family walked onto the podium and began to thank his supporters. An ordinary person with no political experience has become the head of a state from this moment. Griffith really couldn't believe that what he had experienced was true. He was almost hit by joy and was a little incoherent.

Fortunately, Griffith's assistants had already prepared a speech on winning the election, which made Griffith not at a loss. So Griffith delivered his first speech after winning the election. In this speech, Griffith thanked his supporters, staff members of the campaign, his family, and colleagues at Dakota Pasta Growers Company. He said that he would never forget the promises he made during the election. After the speech, Griffith's competitors called to congratulate Griffith on his victory. Griffith also expressed his gratitude.

After the campaign ended, Griffith left everyone away and went backstage to meet his financial backer Kalim. Kalim first congratulated Griffith for her election. Then, Griffith took the initiative to ask Kalim about the seed sales company.

"At present, we have determined that the only variety on the market is soybean, but corn has been submitted to the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) for testing, and it is expected to be officially launched soon." Kalim said optimistically.

"Do you need me to do something?" Griffith asked enthusiastically. The reason why he was so enthusiastic was because although his seed sales company was sold to Kalim, his relatives still had a lot of shares in their hands. Only after the seed sales company was on track can Griffith's investment be rewarded.

"Don't worry, we hope to get corn seeds certified by the FDA during the period before you took office. The American Farmers Association will help us promote these two new types of seeds, while Glencore will give priority to the acquisition of South Dakota agricultural products. I hope that with our help, your political journey will be smoother and you will enter Congress as soon as possible. This will actually help us more!" Kalim said optimistically.
