“Agriculture Our number one industry will only remain number one if we are diligent in protecting it. I will be able to speak with authority on the needs of ag producers and have a great list of contacts and relationships to fill in the gaps in my own knowledge.”

(Candidate Campaign Website) “Education I want South Dakota to continue its focus on trade education — particularly that which prepares for jobs AI cannot do. Across District 22, labor shortages are costing our economy big time. Huron businesses alone usually have a dozen or so welding vacancies at any given time. Multiply that by the income those families would be earning in our community, in addition to the value of the economic output their labor would have. Huron is missing out on millions of dollars in economic activity each year, simply because of a labor issue. And this is not a unique case.”
