Make Energy
Reliable and
AFFORDABLE!
As your next Public Utilities Commissioner, I'll help strengthen our grid, protect landowners, and fight rising costs—so you can count on power that works for your family and budget.
South Dakotans deserve energy they can count on—without breaking the bank or facing unnecessary mandates.
Imagine flipping a switch during a winter storm—only to be left in the dark. Or opening your utility bill and wondering how you'll make ends meet as costs climb from government overreach and neglected infrastructure. These aren’t just inconveniences—they threaten our families, farms, and businesses.
As a lifelong South Dakotan, I’ve seen our abundant resources buried under red tape while grid failures and rising prices hold us back. It doesn’t have to be this way. Together, we can build a future where energy is reliable and affordable—powering prosperity in every corner of our state.

Reliable Energy
Prioritize grid stability with smart investments and strengthened infrastructure to handle peak demand and weather extremes, ensuring South Dakotans can always count on their power.

Affordable Energy
Fight costly mandates and overregulation while promoting competition to reduce prices, keeping utility costs low for families and job creators.
