District 17
South Dakota's 17th legislative district encompasses all of Clay County and parts of Union County. I’m running to represent the southeast communities of Vermillion, Wakonda, Elk Point, North Sioux City, Jefferson, and all points in between.
Real Representation is your right
I believe representation is a right, but serving is a privilege and a responsibility.
No matter your party, I want the privilege to serve you responsibly, efficiently, and productively as District 17’s State House Representative in 2027.
Call, email, or stop by for a cup of coffee, one of my husband Ed’s brews, or a delicious ice cream. It’s time to get some real work done in Pierre.
Respectfully,
I was honored to be selected as the keynote speaker by the 2025 graduating class of Vermillion High School.
