South Dakota State Senate District 15

“Education is the key to the future for the next generation of South Dakotans. I'll continue to make sure that funding and strengthening our education system is a top priority in Pierre. We can afford to keep great teachers, meet students' needs, and stop shifting costs onto local property taxpayers.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey)

“I'm most passionate about mental health and ensuring folks have access to affordable healthcare, something I've spent the overwhelming majority of my career working on as a passionate youth suicide prevention advocate and a leader on the Joint Committee on Appropriations to sustain Medicaid services across South Dakota.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey)

“I look up to people who model service without ego — whether my wife, my sister and parents, mentors and professionals I've had the privilege to work with statewide, elected leaders like former US Senator Tim Johnson, and the people I've gotten to know in our district. All of these people taught me that leadership is showing up, doing the work, and solving real problems without needing all the credit.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey)
