Urge and support our South Dakota Congressional delegation in Washington DC to make sure international trade negotiations are concluded in a timely manner and to the benefit of our State. We also need to seek new markets in Africa, South Asia and other places for our agricultural products.

Continue to promote and develop South Dakota's wind power and know how as green power opportunities expand regionally, domestically, and internationally. Research into improved bio-fuels and Green power should be a top priority at our Universities.

South Dakota has been too slow to respond to business prospects opportunities as with hemp. While dismissing the Pandemic as a "bad flu" we have ignored opportunities in the "social distancing" world. Small business is alert to those opportunities as with mask making food delivery and others. They should be encouraged.

Every South Dakotan needs an affordable high-speed internet connection.

Nothing is more important than our future. Teachers are already short millions promised to them in past years. Those promises must be kept. And additional support provided. We must also stop the corruption that allowed the well connected to steal tens of millions of education funding as in the Gear Up scandal.

The property tax limitation statute needs reform. Alcohol causes many if not most of our criminal justice issues but pays little in tax. My house does not drink and drive. As marijuana approaches legalization (sooner rather than later) we need to plan our tax regime. Let counties and municipalities propose solutions with their own citizens making the decision.

Citizen participation in government needs to be simplified. Fewer signatures should be required to get an issue on a ballot.

The Legislature should stay out of it once they change the Law to allow an independent commission to decide.

One Party continues to discourage voting with false claims and onerous requirements. I am not a member of that Party and will not support taking power from the people. I will work to restore citizen's rights.
