Mark Winegar was a 2016 Democratic candidate for District 17 of the South Dakota House of Representatives.

Campaign themes

2016

Winegar's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Economy

  • Excerpt: "South Dakota needs to expand its sustainable business community. The key is to find "best" fits with potential businesses rather than fighting the battle of tax breaks."

Energy

  • Excerpt: "South Dakota can be a leading producer of electricity by harnessing the wind. This is a business opportunity with direct benefits to farmers and ranchers as well as the public."

Healthcare

  • Excerpt: "Government should facilitate high quality healthcare for every citizen. Therefore, I support the Affordable Healthcare Act and expanding Medicare."

School funding

  • Excerpt: "South Dakota has a long history of paying teachers the lowest salaries in the nation. After considering all of the economic factors our teachers earn 70¢ on the dollar compared to the national average. Is it any wonder we started this school-year 240 qualified teachers short!"

Equal pay

  • Excerpt: "Everyone benefits when pay is equitable because more dollars are circulating and the economy rises. So why do women still earn only 77% of what men earn?"[2]
