Strong schools and workforce readiness.
Every child in South Dakota deserves a quality education that prepares them for real-world careers and lifelong success.
As a volunteer and advocate for education that leads to workforce opportunities, Dan understands the challenges our schools face with growth in population and limited resources.
He believes partnerships across community organizations working in education and workforce development will expand options for families.
After years of division, it is time for leadership that brings common sense and cooperation back to education policy. Sioux Falls and South Dakota deserve leadership that sees the full picture and works constructively for all families.
Smart growth that supports businesses and communities.
We must invest in intentional infrastructure and economic development in District 13 so local businesses and families can thrive together.
Dan believes that strong community partnerships are the way to get things done in our region, bringing together the collective needs. He has experience working with trusted experts to support business growth. He also knows expertise comes in many forms. He trusts credentialed professionals, scientists, economists, and planners, because their knowledge guides sound decisions. But he also trusts the insights of residents, business owners, and local leaders who experience our community every day. Their lived experience reveals both the challenges we face and the opportunities we can seize, ensuring that policies reflect the real-world impact on families, jobs, and neighborhoods. True leadership listens to all experts, those with credentials and those with experience.
Fiscal responsibility with integrity and transparency.
Taxpayers deserve accountability and common sense budgeting to ensure dollars are spent wisely and property taxes are kept in check. Dan will advocate for spending dollars wisely and ensuring transparency over budgets. As a family man, he understands how growing costs create financial burdens on households in our community. Having fiscally responsible leaders is critical during these times.
