“I believe South Dakota's future depends on strong communities, healthy families, quality education, economic opportunity, environmental stewardship, and respect for all people. My vision is rooted in service, common sense, and the Lakota values of honesty, compassion, wisdom, respect, generosity, humility, and courage.”
(Candidate Campaign Website) “I oppose industrial development that threatens our environment, including large-scale data centers powered by fossil fuels that place enormous demands on our water, energy, and infrastructure while providing limited long-term benefits to local communities. South Dakota should invest in sustainable industries that create jobs without sacrificing our land, water, and way of life.”
(Candidate Campaign Website) “I also oppose mining in the Black Hills and near drinking water sources. Clean water is essential for every family, community, ranch, farm, and tribe. Once contaminated, these resources may never fully recover. We have a responsibility to protect the places that sustain us.”
