Education
Setting South Dakotans up for success and the 21st Century, starts here!
- Pre-K education to level the playing field for all children across the state
- Pay teachers competitive wages as promised
- Affordability and accessibility to post secondary education for all
- Teach entrepreneurship skills in High School
Healthy Families
Accessibility and affordability of healthcare across our great state for all times, especially while going through a pandemic!
- Paid sick leave for all employees to protect themselves and for the benefit of public health
- Support the Affordable Care Act and work towards making health care affordable to all South Dakotans
- Provide Medicare for those not yet covered in South Dakota
- Promote better health care access and services for Native Americans
Citizen Involvement
Citizen involvement is one of the primary reasons I have entered this race. We need more transparency and updates of what is happening in Pierre!
- I will encourage and mentor others so we increase number of individuals running for legislature
- There are too many closed-door caucuses happening in Pierre, where citizens have no idea of the outside influences working to set our agenda
- More accessibility to online voter registration and mail-in voting. [Oregon has seen enormous security and increase in voting with .002% suspected voter fraud
Environment
We have many beautiful spaces in South Dakota, and it is what my homesteading grandfather loved so much about this state!
- Many rivers and streams are un-safe for swimming. With buffer zones we can continue to improve our waterways
- Moving to renewable sources of energy like wind and solar will benefit many generations and reduce our carbon footprint
- Planning in cities and towns to encourage more walking and bike riding, and improved public transportation systems
Criminal Justice Reform
While working with prisoners at the South Dakota State Penitentiary, I see great opportunities to decrease populations and to rehabilitate prisoners in many cases!
- Reduce drug ingestion to a misdemeanor from a felony and require rehabilitation programs
- Work with drug and alcohol issues as rehabilitation opportunities first, and implement most advanced, scientifically proven methods
- Bring more holistic methods, like yoga program I have started at South Dakota State Penitentiary, to rehabilitate inmates
Economy
South Dakota is a great agricultural state that is also growing in diversity of business sectors and new opportunities each year
- Continue to support medical research and medical companies in all of South Dakota
- Assist rural areas with online connections, as individuals are finding they can work from home anywhere in the world
- Bring more and more assistance to new entrepreneurs in agricultural products, technology, and production and processing advancements
