The South Dakota Democratic Party will be closing the doors at both of its offices due to financial troubles, leaving the state with no Democratic Party offices.
The state party will be closing offices in Sioux Falls and Rapid City at the end of September, the Argus Leader reported.
No layoffs for party staff have been announced, and employees will begin working remotely due to the party's budget problems, according to state party Chairwoman Paula Hawks.
Hawks told the Argus Leader the party is setting fundraising goals and meeting with party donors and Founders Club members.
The South Dakota Democratic Party started the month of July with $31,267 in the bank and ended it with $3,181, according to Federal Election Commission filings, the Argus Leader reported.
The party had $88,127 on hand at the beginning of the year, and it receives at least $10,000 from the Democratic National Party.
The state party's July expenses reportedly included $2,400 on rent and $14,000 on salaries, according to the FEC. South Dakota Republican Party Chairman Dan Lederman blasted the SDDP for the financial problems coming as a "Shock" to them, blaming Democratic Treasurer Bill Nibbelink, who has held the position since 2000.
