Elections are a marathon, and you never know what the outcome will be until the last minute.
But the 1987 South Dakota election campaign seemed to be out of suspense early.
Because of Griffith's strong fundraising skills, he left his opponent far behind.
Whether it's the number of campaign ads or the number of campaigns, Griffith is a big cut ahead of his opponents.
Among the candidates for governor of South Dakota this term, Griffith's main rival is the governor of South Dakota in the previous term.
Although he took office, he sought to develop South Dakota's tourism industry as an alternative to a monolithic agricultural economy.
But in effect, South Dakota's agriculture began to decline.
Until tourism becomes a mainstay, most of South Dakota's residents will depend on agriculture for their livelihood.
Griffith, on the other hand, has spent his entire life dealing with farmers, and he knows what farmers here like and what they need.
So Griffith's campaign platform was focused on agriculture.
He promised to strengthen the interests of farmers and ensure a statewide minimum price for grain.
State finances are even used to build water and agricultural infrastructure, and the state government is involved in negotiations with agriculture-related companies to fight for the benefit of farmers.
Under Griffith's series of campaign policies, how could the people here not like him.
Griffith cruised around South Dakota, campaigning campaign.
And that's when Monsanto's lab finally made a breakthrough in genetically modified corn seeds.
A new type of corn seed that can resist glyphosate herbicides has been successfully developed.
Another important project in Monsanto's molecular biology laboratory, research on genetically modified wheat, is also nearing completion.
But Monsanto's ambitions don't end there, and now the Molecular Biology Laboratory has expanded into a large testing facility, where similar genetically modified research is being carried out on seeds of almost all agricultural products commonly found on the U.S. market.
A communication, from the very beginning, the opponent is far behind, using the technical barrier to prevent the competitor from entering this new field.
As the campaign gradually came to an end.
Several polls in South Dakota have shown Griffith's approval ratings far outpacing his opponents.
This made Karim's hanging heart finally let go of a little, and it happened that Seryosha was going to buy a stake in Volkswagen of Germany, so Karim left the United States for Europe during this time to deal with related things.
By the time things settle out on the European side, South Dakota's midterm election process has reached its final moment.
With the final day of voting, Griffith's campaign secured the largest indoor sports complex in Pier, the capital of South Dakota, and awaited the final results of the election.
Since early in the morning, major media have begun to report on the voting in Nadakota, which has about four million registered voters, and although Griffith can successfully win the governorship as long as he gets more votes than his opponent, Griffith should still be able to get more than half of the votes in order to implement the policies smoothly after taking office.
After 6 p.m., the voting process was basically over, and the rest was the counting of votes by the Election Commission.
At this moment, all the candidates have finished all their work, and the only thing they can do is to wait for the final election results.
As the results of one polling station after another came out, Griffith was ahead from the beginning without any suspense, which finally relaxed Griffith's nervous heart.
He felt that the gubernatorial race would be much easier than the Democratic primary.
To liven up the atmosphere, Griffith's campaign team also brought in bands and singers to cheer up, and after more than half of the votes were counted, the Griffith campaign site had already begun to celebrate in advance.
By about 9 p.m., Griffith had received more than half of the votes, basically confirming that he had become the new governor of South Dakota.
An ordinary man with no political experience has become the governor of a state from this moment.
Griffith couldn't believe what he was going through was true.
He was almost overwhelmed with joy and was a little incoherent.
Fortunately, Griffith's assistants had already prepared a victory speech, which kept Griffith at a loss.
This was where Griffith gave his first speech since his victory, in which he thanked his supporters, the campaign staff, his family, and his colleagues at Dakota Pasta Growers.
He said he would never forget the promises he made during the campaign.
After the speech, Griffith's rivals called to congratulate Griffiths on his victory.
Griffith also thanked them one by one.
After finishing the campaign, Griffith shook everyone off and went backstage to meet his patron, Karim, who first congratulated Griffith on his election.
Later, Griffith took the initiative to ask Karim about the seed sales company.
"At present, we have identified only soybean varieties for marketing, but corn has been submitted to the FDA for testing and is expected to be officially available soon."
Karim said optimistically.
"Do you need me to do something?"
asked Griffith enthusiastically, the reason why he was so enthusiastic was because his seed sales company was sold to Karim, but his relatives still had a lot of shares in their hands, and Griffith's investment would only pay off if the seed sales company was on the right track.

"Don't worry, in the period before you take office, we want to get corn seed certified by the FDA first.
The American Farmers Association will help us promote these two new types of seeds, while Glencore will prioritize South Dakota produce.
Hopefully, with our help, your political career will be smoother and you will be able to enter Congress sooner, which will help us even more," Karim said optimistically.
Griffith smiled and didn't answer, but he remembered Kareem's words in his heart.
If the gubernatorial race is so easy, how hard can it be for members of Congress?
