OACOMA, S.D. (AP) - South Dakota Democrats have nominated a state party staffer to run for the Public Utilities Commission.

Delegates to the Democratic State Convention on Saturday chose Matt McLarty for the spot on the November ballot. The 37-year-old McLarty grew up in Sioux City, Iowa and moved to South Dakota to work on Sen. Tim Johnson's re-election campaign in
2002.

He worked for the South Dakota Farmers Union before joining the Democratic Party staff a couple of years ago and now is its
legislative director. 

McLarty will face Republican Gary Hanson, who is seeking re-election to a six-year term on the PUC.
