THE ISSUES
I Stand For
Real Solutions for Working Folks
District 15 is where Sioux Falls works - renters and homeowners, young families, service workers, tradespeople, and small business owners all call it home. In Pierre - I will show up, tell the truth, and push for practical changes that help the people who keep this city running.
-
Stable Lives
Everyone in District 15 deserves a safe place to live and a real shot at stability. I believe housing, healthcare, and basic security are not luxuries – They are the foundation everything else is built on. I will make sure District 15 has a voice when those decisions get made in Pierre.
- Safe and stable housing should be within reach for working families.
- Healthcare should be accessible before a crisis hits, not after.
- State policy should work for everyone in District 15, not just the people with lobbyists.
-
Strong Families
Families in District 15 work hard and they deserve real support. I believe children should have what they need to thrive and parents should not have to choose between going to work and taking care of their kids.
- Childcare should be something families can actually access and afford.
- Kids deserve safe places to learn and grow inside and outside the classroom.
- Mental health services and family supports should be available before problems become crises.
-
Steady Work
District 15 runs on people who show up every day in healthcare, hospitality, the trades, and small businesses. I believe hard work should be enough to build a decent life and I will push Pierre to make policy that reflects that reality.
- Full-time work should provide real stability for South Dakota families.
- Small businesses deserve a fair playing field and a government that helps small business owners get ahead.
- Workforce training and career pathways should be available to anyone who wants to build a future here.

Your VOTE Should Count
South Dakota invented the voter-led ballot initiative. We were first – because our founders believed government answers to people – not the other way around.
New laws have made it harder to register and more difficult to put issues directly before voters. Tell Pierre that we value our voting rights. Every eligible voter deserves a straightforward path to the ballot box. That’s not partisan — it’s South Dakotan.
