Former U.S. senator a full-time S.D. resident again

After more than a decade of shuttling back and forth between Sioux Falls and Washington, D.C., a former U.S. senator and a mainstay of the South Dakota Democratic party is set to return to the state full-time.

Former U.S. Sen. Tim Johnson has sold his home in the Washington, D.C. area and will move back to Sioux Falls with his wife Barb, Sharon Boysen, his long time state director confirmed Friday.

The couple has a condo in Sioux Falls and is looking at other homes in the area, Boysen said. Among the options under consideration is a condo in the Jones Lofts building under construction downtown.

Boysen said the couple wants to be closer to their children and grandchildren in the area. She said they have long maintained a residence in Sioux Falls.
