Message to Supporters

Thank you to everyone for all your support as I ran for the State House. I ran for each of YOU as a strong voice of someone who would protect rural Western South Dakota business operations. For years our District has lacked sending someone who could provide results and represent more than only one segment of the District. While we came in short by only 43 votes we had solid success getting our message out that this District needs not just to send a showhorse to Pierre.

While we were in the margin and could have requested a recount, Election Day is over; time to get to work and move forward. I hope the extremely tight margins provide vital insight to Rep. Lesmeister that this District needs him to engage with ALL voters and, most importantly, produce results, not just spend 40 days in Pierre. It will take the commitment of all of us to keep Rep. Lesmeister accountable to his obligation to ALL District 28A voters.

Words cannot express my gratitude for my amazing wife, Shari, and family. None of this would have been possible without them, as running for office meant I had to take time away from the ranch.

Thank you again for your support!
