“I am running for District 12 because I still believe the government can work the way it's supposed to. Honest. Practical. Grounded in the values South Dakotans actually share. Common ground is still out there, and I am ready to cultivate it.”
(SDPB 2026 Meet the Candidates) “Most South Dakotans agree on more than the headlines suggest. They want good schools, affordable lives, clean water, and a government that respects their time and their tax dollars. I am running for the people who never stopped believing that it's possible.”
(SDPB 2026 Meet the Candidates) “District 12 is tired of the noise. We are tired of the partisan bickering that drowns out the things we actually agree on. We want good schools. We want an affordable and safe place to live. We want healthcare we can afford. We want our land, water, and property protected. We want a representative who goes to Pierre to work for us, not to fight for a team. I am ready to do that for District 12.”

“While serving, I earned a Master of Arts Degree in Human Resources Development from Webster University, St. Louis, MO, graduated from the U. S. Army Command and General Staff College, and selected for the U.S. Army War College.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey) “My entire campaign is centered around preserving our moral/conservative values and defending our Constitution and "God-Given unalienable Rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." Remember, we are all born with these Rights and do not get them from government. The Government's role is simple - to secure these unalienable Rights. Every elected official swears upon an oath to uphold and defend the same. I will take my oath seriously, just as I did in the U.S. Army for more than 27 years.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey) “The Constitution states that "all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." The Government's role is to "Secure" these unalienable Rights for "We the People.”
