  • Strong communities

I am a commonsense conservative, lifelong Republican. I am a pro-life, pro-business, pro-second amendment, agricultural advocate with a positive outlook on the continued excellence of our great state. I believe in the ability of individuals and families to make decisions for themselves. I believe in small, efficient, and effective government, with power foremost resting in the hands of the people and their local communities. I believe everyone is entitled to their God-given inalienable rights, civility, and respect. I believe in servant leadership and the critical importance of civic engagement. South Dakota is the best place in the nation to call home. I will work tirelessly to ensure it continues to exceed that expectation and remains the land of infinite variety and endless opportunity for generations to come.

I am proud to call Aberdeen home for most of my life. I would be honored to serve as your South Dakota Senator from District 3.
