Get StartedI also believe in the sanctity of Life—we do not have the right to take the life of an innocent child. We need to offer counseling and resources to expectant mothers who face in some cases a scary future. Abortion is not the answer, and we must do everything we can to protect life, no matter how small. Learn more
I also believe parents should be empowered to make the best educational decisions for their children and come alongside teachers and be involved in their children’s education. Each family and student have unique needs, which may be best served by either public school, private school, or homeschool. Big government should never stand in the way of these educational options. Parents know what’s best for their children to succeed, and children should not be trapped in any failing school. I volunteered at an inner-city school in Houston and was heartbroken to see so many trapped in failing schools and poverty with no way out. We need to change that. Learn more
I believe that children are our future, and we must ensure they are cared for, protected, and well-educated. All children should have a loving, carefree childhood without exposure to pornography, dangerous gender ideology, or other sexualized content. Decisions for k-12 education should be made at the local level with parents, teachers, and administrators. We need more common-sense approaches to education, especially in children’s formative years.

I believe that citizens must get property tax relief immediately. Longtime South Dakota homeowners are being wrongfully taxed out of their homes. We need to learn to live within a budget instead of continually raising taxes to fund pet programs and projects. The taxpayer cannot continue to absorb these increases. This is common sense and our legislators who are supposed to represent us must fight for us, and I intend to do just that if elected. Lawmakers work for us, not the other way around. Learn more
