Welcome and thank you for visiting.


I am honored to be representing the people of District 8 in the South Dakota Senate. Serving in the House was such a rewarding experience and I look forward to doing even more in the Senate. This year’s legislative body has some tough decisions ahead of us, but I am up to the challenge. I will continue to serve the best interest of the people of South Dakota, basing my decisions on what is best for you.


I am also committed to economic development for our industries, small towns and farmers, creating a business environment that attracts new industries to our state and promotes a climate that supports small business and encourages entrepreneurs.


I love living in South Dakota and cherish the ability to work for the people of this great state. As always, if you have any questions or issues you would like to discuss, please contact me. I value your input and ideas.
