“South Dakotans are reasonable, responsible people. Let's expect a baseline of functionality from one another (because we often live up to the expectation somebody sets for us!).”
(Candidate Campaign Website) “If I don't know, I'll tell you that I don't know, and then I'll find out. You can expect honesty about my work, and I'll expect your honesty as well. I mean, we probably know each other. Why pretend?”
(Candidate Campaign Website) “I'll gladly work across the aisle with my Republican colleagues to get things done for South Dakotans. The legislative session is too short for hyper-partisan malarkey.”

“We need a farmer representing District 4, who understands and values the agriculture driving our local economy. My goal is to ensure economic vibrancy, where education and opportunities enable our families to thrive.”
(Candidate Campaign Website) “I am the only candidate in this race who is a farmer, veteran, educator, or father of school age kids. I'm laser focused on District 4 issues because I want to ensure: Our kids obtain the education that allows them to go wherever they want in life, but can access the jobs and quality of life which make them choose to stay here.”
(Candidate Campaign Website) “Why is farming so important in the first place? The answer is obvious, and yet sometimes in our industrialized nation, people forget.”

“It's time for a common sense approach to our problems. We've spent far too long running around in circles with temporary solutions, and we need to buckle down and fix them.”
(Candidate Campaign Website) “Our taxation system just plain doesn't work. We can't say how much we're taxed, where it's going, or why.”
(Candidate Campaign Website) “Our health care system just plain doesn't work. We already all pay the tax of health insurance, but still couldn't ever afford to use the health system.”
