PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds has endorsed former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s bid for the White House in 2016.

Rob Skjonsberg, who managed Rounds’ 2014 U.S. Senate campaign, said Thursday that Rounds knows Huckabee to be a good governor and a good man.

Huckabee endorsed Rounds last year during his bid for U.S. Senate and later campaigned for him.

Huckabee is considered a popular choice among evangelicals and social conservatives, and he will be one of 10 Republicans participating in the party’s primetime presidential debate Thursday evening.

The latest federal campaign finance reports show that Rounds’ Peter Norbeck Leadership PAC donated $2,000 to Huckabee’s presidential campaign in June.

Skjonsberg says the former South Dakota governor likes that Huckabee could bring experience as an executive to the presidency.
