Practical leadership for District 6, grounded in local values, affordability, and accountability to voters.
Where Ned Stands
Practical instead of performative
Grounded instead of disconnected
Focused on people, not politics
-
Property taxes are rising too fast, and families in District 6 are feeling it.
Ned supports property tax relief that includes stabilizing property tax rates, not just shifting the burden somewhere else. Too often, Pierre’s answer is to move money around, call it relief, and leave working families, young people, renters, landlords, and agricultural producers still paying the bill.
District 6 is growing fast, and growth needs to be managed in a way that benefits the people who already live here. New development should be a net positive for local families, not just for large corporations looking to use local infrastructure while passing the costs on to everyone else.
Ned supports practical property tax reform that lowers pressure on families and keeps growth working for the people who live here.

South Dakota should not tax people for feeding their families.
At a time when groceries have become more expensive, taxing food makes life harder for working people, seniors, and families. Ned supports removing the sales tax on groceries and pushing Pierre to find better answers than raising taxes on everyday purchases.
Tax relief should be simple. It should help people directly. It should not take more money from one pocket and pretend to give it back in the other.
Ned supports removing the sales tax on groceries and lowering the cost of living for South Dakota families.
-
Ned is pro-Second Amendment and will protect the right to keep and bear arms.
For many people in District 6, firearm ownership is not a political talking point. It is part of personal freedom, family tradition, hunting, sport, self-reliance, and protecting what matters.
Ned believes law-abiding citizens should not be punished for the failures of government or the actions of criminals.
Ned will stand against efforts that chip away at Second Amendment rights.

Ned is not running to be another rubber stamp in Pierre.
He is running to represent the people of District 6, the community where he was raised, went to school, built a business, and has lived most of his life. Too many decisions in Pierre are being made without meaningful input from the people who have to live with the consequences.
Whether the issue is the billion-dollar prison, carbon pipelines, data centers, taxes, property rights, or local control, Ned believes elected officials should be accessible, responsive, and accountable to the voters who hired them.
District 6 deserves representation grounded in common sense, local values, and the culture of the people who live here.
Ned is running to represent the people of District 6, not political insiders or special interests. His focus is simple: lower costs, protect individual rights, defend local control, and make sure Pierre listens to the people who actually live with the decisions being made.
