| Collapse all
- In South Dakota supporting our law enforcement officers and first responders is crucial.
- South Dakota should be a bastion for faith, family, and freedom for all Americans. Let's keep it that way.
- In an era of censorship, the ability to speak freely is more important than ever.
Law and Order - Our law enforcement officers and first responders deserve respect from our community. They have families just like you and I. They deserve to return home with peace of mind knowing the community has their back. Though there are always laws to change, update, and fix, this does not denigrate the roles these people play in our communities to keep us safe. The law enforcement community in South Dakota should have the utmost support.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
