I am a conservative running to protect the freedom of the people in my District and State. I will support life, the Second Amendment, and fiscal responsibility.
  • I will support life. I will work to protect unborn children, ease the adoption process, and support foster homes and resource parents.
  • I am pro-Second Amendment. The right to bear arms is essential to the protection of all of your rights. I will support legislation that advancesnyour rights, and oppose legislation that seeks to diminish it.
  • I am fiscally conservative. South Dakota has a balanced budget every year. I will work to make sure that continues in a responsible and conservative way.
Life, the Second Amendment, fiscal responsibility, and economic development are the most important issues to me. I will also work to solve the meth epidemic and the nursing home crisis.
Upholding the state and federal Constitutions, and working to solve the problems of their constituents.
I would like to leave a legacy that I helped people and protected their freedom.
9/11 is the first historical event that I remember. I was sitting in my pre-school classroom when the TV suddenly switched from a movie to the news coverage of the towers falling.
I worked in a local grocery store for two years when I turned sixteen.
I believe it is important to have experience with the legislative process, but it is not necessary to have experience in government.
Slow revenue growth, the meth epidemic, and the nursing home crisis.
Yes. Without a relationship with other legislators it is impossible to introduce and pass legislation that solves the issues of our state.
