I am running for the South Dakota House of Representatives for district 11. Until recently, I never considered running for office. But like many people in our state, I've realized that a great number of our Representatives are not representing me or what I believe in. Special interest groups, political ambitions and indifference are getting in the way of meaningful and relevant legislation that South Dakota needs and wants. We will never agree on all issues. However, I promise to listen to those affected by proposed legislation, conduct fair, impartial research and consult experts when needed before I vote on legislation. There is nothing special about me. I just happen to be an average South Dakotan who wants to make a difference for the benefit of everyone in our state.
