ISSUES

In 2026, I helped pass House Bill 1082, expanding access to free and reduced school meals for more than 10,000 kids and families across South Dakota. I believe every student should have the support they need to learn, grow, and succeed.

I serve as Chair of the State’s Corrections Commission and on the Governor’s Correctional Rehabilitation Task Force, where I focus on data-driven reforms that strengthen public safety and improve outcomes. That means investing in what works, reducing recidivism, and creating better pathways for people to successfully reenter their communities.

I’ve worked on policies that address homelessness, support families, and ensure more South Dakotans have access to opportunity. Strong communities start with making sure people have stability, support, and a fair shot.

As a working-class legislator, I understand the challenges many families face. I’ve focused on policies that expand access to essential services, create opportunity, and make sure government works better for everyday South Dakotans.

I’m running for re-election to keep building on the progress we’ve made. From delivering real results like expanding school meal access to advancing criminal justice reform, there is more work to do. I’m committed to continuing to show up, listen, and fight for District 15.
