Louise Snodgrass completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Snodgrass' responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Accessible & Transparent Government. South Dakota deserves to be guided by lawmakers that are truly representative of their communities, that are honest and open, and that are easily accessible to those they represent. The people of South Dakota deserve a government that works for them.
- Inclusion. I believe we are in need of leaders with listening ears, and open minds with missions of inclusion to promote innovation and create resilience in our state. South Dakota communities are made up of a diverse patchwork of individuals and there is more room needed at the table for their voices to be heard.
- Conservation. I believe that the conservation and preservation of our state's natural resources is essential. Systems that protect our soil health, waterways, and wildlife ensure our state's economy and communities will thrive for many generations.
Agriculture is not only one of the largest industries in South Dakota, but is a large part of our culture and the feasibility of sustaining a small family farm operation is quickly diminishing. I believe small farms support their local economies, holistically practice land stewardship, and create agricultural diversity.
Higher Education.
I believe in creating more affordable higher education to further support the bright, creative minds in our workforce as well as the emerging young leaders in our communities. Beyond affordability, it is also important to ensure the rights and resources our state's universities require to provide the best education for all.
Local Business.
