I have been a lifelong resident of Turner County.

I am proud to continue the legacy of our family farm, which has been in operation for over 125 years. Agriculture is the number one industry in our state. We are a small percentage of the population, so we need to send a strong voice to Pierre. As a parent, I am well aware of the needs and challenges of education in our towns and rural areas. And, as a college graduate, I am sensitive to the needs of higher education in South Dakota. I have enjoyed my first year as your District 16 Representative supporting South Dakota , our communities, to ensure that our lifestyle can continue for future generations.
