“I own Austin Wolf LLC and previously owned Lou's Plumbing in Tea, a company I named after my daughter. My fiancée has spent more than 20 years working in long-term care, and between her work and mine, we see firsthand how rising costs, rapid growth, and infrastructure demands are affecting working families and seniors.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey)
“Put working families first. District 6 is growing fast, and families are feeling it through rising property taxes, housing costs, and infrastructure strain. I support responsible growth, transparency in spending, and practical solutions that keep South Dakota affordable for the people who live and work here.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey)
“I look up to former South Dakota Senator George McGovern. I respect his commitment to public service, his willingness to stand by his principles, and his belief that government should reflect compassion, responsibility, and respect for others. Regardless of political differences, he demonstrated that leaders can disagree while still treating people with dignity. His example of independent thinking, civility, and service to South Dakota is one I admire and hope to follow.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey)

“National Master in Chess - founded Chess4Life in 2005 to bring problem solving skills along with other life skills to children. Experienced firsthand the slow but steady erosion of freedom in Washington State. Left there in April 2021 to find a better place to raise his family. Thankful for the community in District 6/South Dakota!

“Experienced the West Coast disastrous policies and will do all he can avoid Washington state coming to South Dakota. Freedom is NOT free - it requires active efforts to protect our freedom. Join me in this effort! Cost of Living. I saw this skyrocket in WA state, paralleling a sales tax that over my time in the state went from just over 5% to now approaching 11%! I saw an income tax added in the first part of 2026 despite it being forbidden by the state constitution. I will do all I can to address these challenges.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey)
“I believe government as the servant of the people, by the people, and for the people ought to be transparent and not obfuscate what is happening. Waste should be addressed and reduced instead of thinking that more taxes/more money will solve issues.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey)
