Lt Col (Ret) USAF, USN Vet, Former Wind Cave National Park Ranger, Husband & Father now running for Senate to stand up for people who work for a living.
The American dream keeps drifting further away. The average age for first-time homeowners is now 40.

That's an all time high & a blaring alarm that our system is broken. Working people deserve a fair shot at stability, not a lifetime spent chasing it.

Today we honor the brave Americans who served our country. Their courage, sacrifice, & dedication have protected our liberties since 1776.

Thank you to all veterans past & present for your service. I am proud to have stood with you in defense of our republic.

Rapid City’s“No Kings” protest showed exactly why I’m running for Senate as an Independent.

Folks from all backgrounds came together for the principles of our republic’s Constitution: rule of law, popular sovereignty, & liberty.

People come first, not partisan elites.

While it's still Native Americans' Day, I also wanted to share this:
The 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre was just that: a massacre. Attempting to overwrite it as a "battle" as the DoD did last month is ahistorical and disrespectful to South Dakotans.

This is what happens when you give control of the Pentagon to a weekend TV host with zero management experience. This guy has no business being either the Secretary of Defense or War.

The Hatch Act prohibits use of federal resources for partisan political activity. This & similar messages from federal agencies are clear violations.

Where is Mike Rounds? If he doesn't care about the rule of law, what else is he willing to ignore?

Society must favor work over wealth to maximize productivity and prosperity for all.

America did that in the post WWII era (when it was great) but we’ve been going in the opposite direction for decades as the tax code reflects.
