Chris Kassin (R)

As a legislator, I will fight to ensure that the next generation has access to even greater opportunities in the decades ahead. South Dakota was built on a foundation of values that are in-line with what’s most important to me: Keeping government small and responsive to the citizens.

Keeping taxes and regulations low, providing for a pro-business atmosphere.

A way of life that is cherished by all of us who are fortunate to live in this great state.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Chris Kassin (R)

Strong Economy

Great Schools

Quality Healthcare
